Welcome to the “Merton Footballers Cricket Club”– est. 2007

Gent’s we are looking for players to join our friendly’s only cricket revolution.

Towards the end of last summer we dipped our toe in the water and played our first 2 games… which we all enjoyed and learnt from,  and things can only get better after our Batting collapse which left with 0 runs for 4 wickets experience against Roehampton Wanderers and really maximize our potential!!

This season we’ve organized ourselves and are looking to recruit a bit more strength in depth, so if you have ever played cricket before (no really just the once will do) you could be just who we are looking for!

We’ve already got the fixtures setup (see below) and are looking to secure the wicket at Joseph Hood for the Home games and nets/practice will commence in Late March/Early April.

Obviously there are costs involved for the pitches, the kit, balls, teas and of course end of season awards do on AUGUST 24th where loud cricket blazers are a must!

So we are asking potential members to pay a fee of £20 to sign on, and then £10 a match.

Our aim is create a friendly relaxed partner friendly environment, create the oppurtunitys for a few good bonding nights out and just to make sure everyone gets a good game, we bowl at the stumps and win a game!

The people doing the organizing are…

Fixtures Secretary – Alex Herbert

Pitches Secretary – Lofty

Treasury and Tea Secretary - Mark Thomas

Team Captain – Dan Wells

Match Reporter – Jack The Griff
