Hornchurch Athletic Cricket Club

John Smith, the organiser of the Hornchurch Athletic Cricket Club, wants to share a message with the sports community. The club, established in 1936, proudly holds its place in Hylands Park, Hornchurch, Essex. Celebrating 87 years, it's a well-loved part of the local community.

The club is open to players of all abilities, with five Saturday XIs and a Sunday XI for adults. John happily welcomes new adult and youth members, promoting inclusivity and introducing cricket to everyone interested. So, whether you’re experienced or just starting out, there’s a place for you here.

For the youngsters, they offer programmes like All Stars for those aged 4 to 8, and Dynamos for girls aged 8 to 11. These sessions are all about fun and interactive ways to learn cricket basics. There are also opportunities for girls and women to play softball cricket.

Boys aged 7 to 19 can join and benefit from quality coaching suited to their age. For men looking for a challenge, there’s competitive cricket available.

John emphasises that the club is more than just cricket; it's about fostering camaraderie and community spirit. Regular news updates and social events help keep everyone connected and engaged.

Safety is a priority, with a public access defibrillator available for emergencies. It’s located outside the pavilion, with easy-to-follow guides available on the club's website.

The club values its sponsors and affiliates for their essential support. John is always on the lookout for new partners to help promote cricket within the community.

To keep up with club activities, John recommends following their Instagram or visiting the club's website. A club shop will soon be available for purchasing merchandise.
