Net Refurbishment
As you all know our much loved nets urgently need replacing. They were first installed in 1994 and are used just about every day throughout the season.The bounce is poor, the cage keeps falling down and the netting has holes. Health and Safety is a great concern. We are putting in an application to Your Fund Surrey for total replacement. The cost will be about £40,000 + VAT. We need your support to demonstrate to the funding body the desperate need. Please go to https://yourfundsurreymap.commonplace.is/comments/600598687a8b1821a4a1ec07 click on the ‘thumbs up’ icon. Please don’t put it off till later – your club needs your support now and we owe it to all our youngsters and members to provide the best possible facilities.
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 will be running two Saturdays sides in the Fuller’s Brewery Surrey County League. In 2019 ( our last full season) the 1st XI came third and the 2nd XI came fifth in their respective divisions.
We have entered a team under the name of Newdigate Earthquakes in the Surrey T20 Slam competition. These are popular matches played during weekday evenings. They are always well supported.
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, are playing in the Surrey T20 Slam. See calendar for fixtures and contact Karen Fordree (kfordree@outlook.com ) for more information.

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.

President
Newdigate Cricket Club
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!
