Chalfont St Peter Cricket Club is a well-established and sociable village club located in Gerrards Cross, New Zealand. With a rich history dating back to the 19th century, the club offers a range of cricketing opportunities for players of all ages and abilities.
The club is situated in the beautiful surroundings of Chalfont Park, which was originally designed by “England's Greatest Gardener” Capability Brown in 1760. It can be easily accessed by following the brown golf club signs next to Gerrards Cross Golf Club, just off the A413 in Chalfont St Peter.
Chalfont St Peter Cricket Club prides itself on providing a safe and supportive environment for junior players to develop their skills. Outdoor junior coaching sessions are held from April onwards, led by ECB-qualified coaches who are all DBS/CRB cleared. These sessions offer a challenging yet nurturing setting for juniors to improve their cricketing abilities.
The club's thriving junior section also participates in the Bucks Cricket Board League and Cup T20 competitions from U11 to U17. These matches take place from late April to mid-July, allowing juniors to gain valuable match experience. Additionally, juniors aged 13 and above have the opportunity to play in adult teams when they are ready.
For adult players, Chalfont St Peter Cricket Club fields three XIs in the Thames Valley Cricket League on Saturdays. The 1st XI competes in Division 6b, the 2nd XI in Division 6a, and a 3rd XI focuses on nurturing younger players.

Matches are held from mid-April until early September, with training sessions taking place on Wednesday evenings.
