Welcome
…… to the Newdigate Cricket Club web site.
We are a thriving cricket club, playing on a picturesque ground, situated on the Surrey/Sussex border, equidistant from Dorking, Reigate and Horsham. We have a new pavilion which provides the club with fantastic headquarters.
This is what Surrey County Cricket club has written about us. “Premier side Newdigate, a bastion of village cricket on the Surrey/Sussex border and relative newcomers after starting life in 1849. Playing a full part in the heart of their community, they arrived late in league cricket by joining the Surrey Downs League in 1999 and switched to the Fuller’s in 2013.”
We offer a friendly environment for cricketers of all ages and abilities.
In 2021 we ran two Saturdays sides in the Fuller’s Brewery Surrey County League. The 1st XI came 7th in the Premier Division and the 2nd XI came second and gained promotion.
We entered a team under the name of Newdigate Earthquakes in the Surrey T20 Slam competition and a team in the Surrey Trust Development League
As an alternative to league matches our Sunday side/s play traditional friendly matches and our midweek team play twenty over friendlies throughout the summer on Wednesday evenings.
Our ladies, known as the Newdigate Ninjas, played in the Surrey T20 Slam and won their league. They then progressed to the county finals and lost in the semi-finals to Richmond. Contact Karen Fordree (kfordree@outlook.com ) for more information.

Once again we signed up to ALL STARS CRICKET which proved to be a great success again. In 2019, 2212 clubs participated and 67,000 children attended throughout the country!

We believe in running a club which is open and equable to everyone and have been awarded the ECB Clubmark Accreditation in recognition of this achievement.

Simon Hughes has written in the May 2020 issue of the Cricketer:
“Sport is a temporary deflection away from reality, an uplifting experience after a hard week at work – whether playing or watching – or an opportunity to bond with people who share a communal passion”.
IMPORTANT – STROKES, BLOOD CLOTS ETC.
This is for everyone. If somebody stumbles unaccountably they may have had a stroke. Ask them to smile, to say a simple sentence or raise both arms. Also ask them to stick out their tongue and check if it is crooked. If they cannot do any of these simple things call the emergency service (details on the notice board on the balcony) as they may have had a stroke. Time is of the essence you might just save a life!
