Tunbridge Wells Cricket Club is one of the leading clubs in the Kent Cricket League, having been a founder member in 1970.
Widely acknowledged as one of the most picturesque grounds in the country, The Nevill is a marvellous place to play cricket. We have a comfortable pavilion with a well-stocked bar, so even if you are a non-playing member you can just call by and take in some cricket while relaxing over a cool drink. E.W.Swanton referred to the venue as "no mean contender for the most delectable English Cricket Ground" citing "this glorious rhododendral splendour" on one June visit.
NEW HEAD COACH for 2012
 |
"Rob Ferley, the former Kent and Nottinghamshire county cricketer has joined us as Head Coach. He will take up his role with immediate effect at the start of the Club's pre-season training programme. Rob will concentrate on the adult cricket side but this will include supporting the development of the Club's young players from age 13 upwards who are keen to go on to play adult cricket at the Club.

Stephen Green said: “We are delighted to welcome Rob to the Club. He will bring invaluable experience to us and we are excited about the plans he has outlined; with our superb outdoor nets and Rob’s skills, we are able to offer our members a top quality training regime and facilities; and we hope to be able to attract new players of all abilities to the Club in 2012”.
Rob commented: “It is a great time to be joining the Club. It has a dedicated group of senior players mixed with some of the best young talent in the county. I look forward to giving them extra opportunity to reach their full potential as individuals and as a club"

Kent County Cricket Club come here annually and play One-Day matches and at least one 4-day County Championship game; in 2009, there was the first County 20-20 contest played at The Nevill, which was a tremendous success and great entertainment for fans. This event has now become a regular feature, with its sell-out attendances, and there are two one-dayers booked for 2012; this year will see the one hundredth week-long visit by KCCC to Tunbridge Wells, thus emphasising the durability and longevity of the relationship between the two cricket clubs. Most of our Memberships include free entrance to the Championship games.
Clubmark status was achieved in 2004 and is currently maintained, moreover TWCC also enjoy Focus Club designation from the ECB/KCB.
Our Saturday First and Second XIs play in their respective Kent Premier Leagues, and will defend their tenure in the 2012 competitions, after successful campaigns in 2011. The Club have enjoyed spectacular flagship Cup runs in the past two seasons and will be hoping to repeat that formula for 2012.
Our 3rd and 4th XIs, the first-named in the Premier Feeder Division, both retained their status, although ambitious strategies will be afoot for improvement in both camps whilst providing a pathway for new Youth players reaching up to Adult Cricket. Nevertheless, the platform for promotion will be uppermost in the tactical planning. It was a source of great satisfaction to observe a richly-talented U13 player make his Second Team debut in 2011, which puts down a marker for others to follow.
The Aero Sunday League (KSDL) will feature just one TWCC Development XI competing in 2012, with the remaining fixtures being retained for practice and friendly matches when applicable. In the past few seasons, the Club have won both the First and Third Division Championships, demonstrating as ever the vibrant Youth element in the fabric of the TWCC organization.
We saw the Youth Section, including the new girls' squad, bring in the silverware in 2011, with two major trophies at U13 level to go with one in the U15 competition, while TW U-17s will look to restore the Langdale Trophy, last won in the 2010 Festival, to the Cabinet. The U9s will again look to win the Kent Mini 8s competition, having enjoyed triple championships in the past four years.
