Where we play
In 2010, the Club will be using three cricket grounds for its home fixtures - Old Deer Park;Imperial College Sports Ground, Teddington and Imperial College Sports Ground, Harlington.
OLD DEER PARK
The Club's home since 1864, Old Deer Park is one of London's finest grounds.
It offers one of the largest squares and playing areas in the capital,
boasts a large and well-appointed pavilion and has 5 artificial practice nets
and 4 grass nets which are suitable for use by the Colts Section.
Who uses Old Deer Park ?
All senior playing members of the Club and many Juniors will get the chance to play at Old Deer Park during the season. On League Saturdays, either the 1st or 2nd XI play there. On Sundays and Bank Holidays, the ground stages Cup fixtures or friendlies. All members, and particularly those who do not get the opportunity to play at Old Deer Park that often, are encouraged to make themselves available for friendly fixtures and so get to play at the ground. A Cricket Week in July also offers the membership opportunities to play at Old Deer Park.
Colts matches are played on midweek evenings and the majority of these are also played at Old Deer Park.
The ground is also available for hire during the summer, as are the various function rooms in the Pavilion. For further information about hiring our facilities, please contact the General Manager on email at:david@olddeerpark.co.uk or visit the website:www.olddeerpark.co.uk
