Welcome to The Lee Cricket Club, and one of the most beautiful village cricket grounds in England.
The first game of cricket was played on The Lee Manor Park Ground in 1875, and only a new pavilion and the maturing of several oak trees dotted around the boundaries have changed the outlook since then. The cows in the neighbouring field often come right up to the boundary fence to watch the matches!
After over a century of playing friendly fixtures, in 1999 the club decided to play league cricket for the first time and joined the Kookaburra Mid Bucks Village League. We rapidly gained promotion from Division 2 to Division 1 and then played several seasons in the Premier league.
The club continues to combine Saturday league cricket with traditional friendly games played on Sundays. In 2014 we joined the Morrant Chiltern League and the First XI play in Division 3 and the Second XI in Division 4.
In addition to senior cricket, the club also runs a hugely successful colts section, with over 120 members attending either Friday night softball training or Saturday morning hardball sessions. This season we have colts teams at Under 9, Under 10, Under 12, and Under 14 and Under 15 age groups, as well as an Under 19 Twenty:20 team. Several of our colts are also representing the county.
