Separate training takes place for the Girls section on Monday evenings at the Sports Hall at Fullbrook School between 6.30 and 7.30pm on the following dates:

Monday 20th January
Monday 10th February
Monday 2nd March
Monday 23rd March

All winter training is included in your annual subs so there is no cost on the day.

Clothing and Equipment

Club kit is available for all to use. We will make available bats and balls for the younger age groups. For the older colts we have a full kit bag consisting of pads, helmets and batting gloves etc.  Obviously if your child has his/her own cricket equipment, then please bring it along ensuring it is named so it is not mixed up with others.

For those in U10 or higher, they will be playing hard-ball cricket, we encourage you to buy your own abdo-guard (or box). Also to avoid the box slipping, the boys will either need to wear cricket pants (they have a pocket at the front for the box), or will need to wear two pairs of pants!

Appropriate footwear for an indoor sports hall must be worn and please also ensure a water bottle is brought.

Any questions, please do contact your Age Group Manager. It is helpful to arrive 5 minutes before the start of your session.

Once again we will be netting at Woking Leisure Centre on Sunday afternoons from the last weekend of January. Each session takes place from 4.00-6.00.

Similar to last year, we will be running another recruitment campaign, and we are always on the look out for new players. Please bring along any friends who are interested in joining. As you can see from the details below, we have added some additional sessions for this season.

All abilities are welcome so feel free to come along as we run five senior teams across the weekend and a midweek T20 team too.

Following the AGM earlier this month, a number of changes have taken place with. Keith Goodwin and Andy Morgan taking over as Chairman and Secretary from Peter Smith and Trevor Woods respectively.

A number of other roles have been filled, however, we are still looking for a Sponsorship and Fundraising Manager to replace Keith. The role is not particularly onerous, a couple of hours a week, but we would like them to continue the links with our current sponsors, seek out new ones, and file new grant applications for items such as ground or cricket equipment. If you are interested in this role or would like to find out more then please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Thursday's AGM saw the biggest changes to the Woking and Horsell Committee in years as Peter Smith and Trevor Woods stepped down from their roles as Chairman and Secretary after years of oustanding service.

As some of you will know both our long standing Chairman Peter Smith and our Secretary Trevor Woods have resigned from their positions following several years of outstanding service. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their tireless hard work over the years. We would also like to thank our Welfare Officer Helen Smith whose outstanding work in 2018 and 2019 deservedly won her the Clubperson of the Year Award. Helen has also taken the decision to step down from her role.
