Welcome to the Sonning Cricket Club website.


The Club is located in the picturesque village of Sonning on Thames, just to the east of Reading, in Berkshire.

We are a very successful village cricket club, with our 1st XI winning the Thames Valley League Division 4b at the first attempt in 2008 and winning the Berkshire League Premier Division four times in the previous 7 seasons. We run three league teams on a Saturday with our 1sts and 2nds now playing in the Thames Valley League at divisional levels 3 and 6 respectively. Our 3rd XI are in Division 3 of the Berkshire League and we also run a social side on Sunday with a full fixture list from April to Sept. Starting in 2009 we will also be fielding a side in the Reading Midweek Evening League.

In 2008 we started a junior section for 6-12 year olds, and in 2009 our Under 11s will enter the Berkshire Youth Cricket League and our Under 9s will play friendly matches. Training for juniors is held on Sunday mornings at King George’s Field.

We are a friendly and sociable club which plays hard on and off the field and new players are always welcome, especially now that we are setting our sights on more success in the Thames Valley League.

Please contact the Chairman, Ali Driver, for further details: ali@sonningdrivers.plus.com

All

The season is nearly upon us and to ensure we are finely tuned for 2009 we have invited back 'A Bit On The Side' for a sing-a-long and food will be available for all. They've now changed their name to 'Something For The Weekend' but it's still the same two girls - see http://www.sftwduo.co.uk/

The girls always ensure we have a great night so please make this a priority for your diary!

We'll kick off at 7.30pm for 8.00pm on May 16th and the bar will have a late extension!

Please let me know asap if you can make it as I need to know numbers for the food arrangements.

As usual tickets are just £5!

Cheers
