East, west, Village cricket is best

Swyncombe Cricket Club plays its cricket at Cookley Green, a picturesque hamlet on top of the Chiltern Hills between Watlington and Nettlebed. Brick-and-flint cottages, red kites wheeling overhead, and a ground members simply call the Field of Dreams.

We're a friendly bunch who came for the cricket and stayed for the people. We're a non-league club who enjoy our cricket. Our fixtures are 35-over Sunday matches from May to the end of September, weather permitting, largely against neighbouring villages, with the occasional visit from a travelling side. The cricket is taken just seriously enough to be competitive but accessible, with even a cheeky beer or two after the game.

Whether you're a seasoned opener, a reformed fast bowler, or you haven't picked up a bat since school, you'll find a game here, plus weekly nets in season to practice whatever your cricketing heart desires.
