Welcome to the Henley Cricket Club website. Please use the menu on the left to navigate your way around our website. We are very proud of what Henley CC has achieved over the last few years, including buying our own ground, building a new pavilion and developing this new website. On the playing side 2010 will be a hard year to follow as the First and Seconds won their respective leagues, the Thirds were promoted and the Fourths introduced many youngsters to league cricket. Not forgetting the Sunday XI who remained unbeaten all season.

We are a very friendly club, and welcome new players and supporters alike. Our ground is one of the loveliest places  to play or watch cricket in England. Please read on to discover all about HCC over the last few years from our Chairman, Paul Bradbury.

NEW PLAYERS 

 Henley Cricket Club is always on the lookout for new players with a range of different abilities and cricketing skills. Any player who wishes to join the club would be assured of a warm welcome.

HENLEY COUGARS WIN COUNTY FINAL

Henley Cricket Club has travelled far in recent times. Until a few years ago, the club did not own its own ground and was faced with the daunting prospect of having to raise some £460,000 to purchase the ground in Henley.  With the support of a number of local organisations, the Town Council and hard work by the committee, the club was able to purchase the ground and to move onwards.  As Bob Willis MBE, one of the club’s Vice Presidents has remarked “not only is the cricket club the focal point for any community, but with schools becoming more and more obsessed with league tables and exams, it has become the major springboard for the development of promising local talent…… great spirit has now been shown by the cricket club’s stalwarts in saving the wonderful Henley ground for future generations”. Good luck to Henley Cricket Club for an even brighter future and thank you for your friendship.”

On the cricketing front, the club has enjoyed considerable success in recent times. The 1^st X1 now competes in the highly competitive Home Counties Premier League and won the championship in 2004, 2009 and 2010. To win the championship two years in succession, a feat only achieved by one other club, is a great achievement for a small club which now fields five teams each weekend and is able to cater for players who like a more social game to those who are of minor county standard or thereabouts.  The 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th X1s have also enjoyed success in recent years, both 2^nd and 3^rd X1s being promoted in 2010, the 2^nd X1 to the Thames Valley League 1^st Division. The Junior Section has also gone from strength to strength and Henley CC is proud to support the local community with a number of its coaches attending sessions each week at local primary and secondary schools.  The club recognises that its future is closely linked with the development of young people in the region.
