The Cricket Club is one of UCL's oldest sport societies. We have four summer teams, three competitive and one recreational, so whether you're the next Don Bradman, or just looking for an excuse to spend time in the sun with some mates, the Cricket club is perfect for you.  

2024 was another hugely successful year for the club. Our 1st XI were once again promoted after an unbeaten season and the 2nd XI had a successful season. For the 3rd year running we beat KCL 3-0 in Varsity confirming our unbeaten streak since COVID for another year. Going into the 2024/5 season we are hoping to see our 1st XI gain promotion to the BUCS Southern Prem, building on 2 highly successful seasons.

Off the pitch we are equally active; we have regular inter-club socials, a number of drinking and non-drinking events and a number of charity partnerships including one with the Ruth Strauss Foundation. 

Training:

  • Every Wednesday during terms 1+2 we train in the indoor centre at Lords.
  • Additional, beginner-friendly, indoor training during the winter at City of London Academy (COLA) Islington.
  • After the first reading week, there will be an additional 1st XI training session for the 1st XI squad. 
  • Weekly summer nets at Highgate and fielding sessions at Regent's Park during term 3.
  • Regular club runs throughout the year. 

Fixtures:

  • Weekly term 3 BUCS games for the 1st and 2nd XIs.
  • Weekly Term 3 LUSL games for 3rd and 4th XIs.

  • Inter-club fixtures to bulk out the fixture list for the summer months.

  • Regular joint socials with a wide variety of other clubs.
