Tunbridge Wells Cricket Club is one of the leading clubs in the Kent Cricket League, being a founder member in 1970.
Our Saturday First and Second XIs play in their respective Kent Premier Leagues, and will be hoping to consolidate and raise standards in both divisions during 2008. The Second XI deservedly regained Premier status with an undefeated run in the 2007 campaign, while the flagship First Team reached their best position (5th) in the table since 1998 (Third). Our 3rd XI gained promotion within the Feeder League in 2006, and maintained that status after a hair-raising run-in in 2007; while this year, for the first time since 1998, we entered a Fourth XI in the Kent Feeder League, and a first-off promotion has been achieved in that campaign. A variety of friendly games are played on Sundays, and we have successfully fielded two XIs throughout the summer, providing further opportunities for all ages to participate, and there are occasional mid-week fixtures (including Cup competitions). Sundays have also seen participation in the Aero Sunday League in 2007, and TW ended up unbeaten but in second place in Division A due to bad weather causing half of the fixtures to be abandoned.
We have a very strong Youth section with officially-qualified coaches, and play matches throughout the season at various age-groups. Clubmark status was achieved in 2004, and the 2007 Festival was won by TW U-17s, but the overarching achievement came when the TW U-15s won outright the all-England & Wales Portman Cup on 22 August 07 at Bournemouth, from a national entry of over 1700 teams. The XI played wonderfully mature cricket and thoroughly deserved their success, the first such for a Kent-based club.
We warmly welcome new members whatever your standard.
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.
Kent County Cricket Club come here annually and play One-Day match(es) and at least one 4-day County Championship match; most of our memberships include free entrance to these games.
