275th Anniversary events in August

David Patton26 Jul - 16:09

Important dates for your diary! Come and celebrate 275 years of recorded cricket on the green!

In August we continue to celebrate our historic 275 years of cricket on the green, with not one, not two... but THREE big matches!

On the Green...

  • Sunday 4th August (from 1pm): Ripley CC
  • Tuesday 6th August (from 11am): The MCC

Tell your friends to tell their friends and make your way along to the Green! Why not bring a picnic, support and celebrate with your local village cricket team. There will be a marquee, for player teas, where the club will also be selling special 275 merchandise. On Sunday 4th we follow straight on from the Bearsted Market on the Green - so why not make a day of it...

Away from the Green...

  • Sunday 18th August (from 1pm): Honourable Artillery Company CC

Our opponents for the first recorded game on the green in 1749. We will play the HACCC later in the season on the green, but first we visit the HAC at their lovely ground in the heart of London. The club is looking to put on coach travel, estimated at £30 return per person. Please contact Steve Pearce (07740 796002) for more details and to book / pay for your place.
