Cricket Section
Beckenham's
cricket section is one of the best in Kent Cricket. We run three
senior Saturday league sides with the first team playing in the ECB
Kent League Premier Division.
We
also have two sides on Sundays playing friendly matches, so we feel
we cater for cricketers of all standards – from the enthusiast to
the clubs current star Kent Captain and England international Robert
Key.
The
club also boasts Derek Underwood and Richard Ellison as former Test
match representatives, whilst the current 1st team squad includes
two former England U-19 internationals. There is also a
burgeoning ‘ClubMark’ qualified junior section which provides
ECB qualified coaching for 150-200 juniors and runs 8 league and cup
teams at varying age groups.
The
club is the proud home of The Primary Club, the cricket charity so
strongly publicised by the late Brian Johnston and we also used to
be the home of the June pre-Wimbledon Tennis Tournament, which
traditionally started the British Grass Court Season, the first ever
hockey international was also hosted at Foxgrove ground, whilst
luminaries such as King George and WG Grace have displayed their
wares on our sporting fields.
