Sherwood Cricket Club

Sherwood Cricket Club is a well-established cricket club located in Rochester, Kent. Founded in 1965, the club has a rich history of cricket being played at Cloudesley Close even before its official establishment. The club boasts its own pavilion, which includes changing rooms, showers, and a bar, all located on the grounds.

Sherwood Cricket Club owns both the grounds and the clubhouse where matches are held. The club currently runs two adult teams, the 1st and 2nd teams, which compete in the Kent Regional League. Additionally, the club has three Sunday XI teams that participate in both competitive league matches and friendly matches.

One of the key focuses of Sherwood Cricket Club is developing young talent. Since 2014, the club has been providing coaching and matches for over 95 youngsters ranging in age from 5 to 17 years old. The coaching is facilitated by England and Wales Cricket Board Qualified Coaches, who are supported by dedicated volunteers from both the parents and players associated with the club. To ensure the safety and protection of all participants, all individuals involved in coaching have undergone enhanced CRB checks for working with children.

Sherwood Cricket Club also places great importance on child welfare. The club has its own designated Child Welfare Officer, whose details can be found on the contacts page of the club's website. This officer also sits on the main Club Committee to ensure that the welfare of young players is safeguarded.

One of the club's proud achievements is its commitment to promoting youth players to join the adult teams once they have reached a safe level of skill and competence. This practise contributes to the current composition of the Saturday and Sunday 1st XI teams, which feature players who have successfully progressed from the youth ranks.

In addition to its focus on player development, Sherwood Cricket Club has an active social calendar, organising various club events throughout the year. These activities provide opportunities for members to come together and foster a strong sense of camaraderie within the club.

To support the operations of the club, Sherwood Cricket Club has affiliations with various organisations and sponsors. The club's affiliations include the Kent Regional Cricket League, the Medway Area Sunday Cricket League, and the Readers Medway Youth Cricket League.
