About CCC

Canterbury Cricket Club, formally Beverley Cricket Club is one of the oldest cricket clubs in the country. (See the main links for more of our history.)

The Club runs five teams playing in the Kent League, Kent Feeder League East and East Kent League whilst the Sunday 2nd XI remains the safe haven for those that wish to escape the demands of league cricket. There is also a thriving junior section with ClubMark accreditation with cricket coaching and match play for all age groups. Please check out About CCC and Junior Cricket using the links above.

The modern era of club cricket relies heavily on sponsorship from our local business community.

We would also like to thank Blatch and Green, sponsor of the Canterbury Sixes, and our other fixture card sponsors Bates (Kent) Ltd and D&B Services.

Canterbury Cricket Club are always keen to recruit new members. If you live or have moved into the area and are keen to play a good standard of cricket, we would be very interested to hear from you.

If you wish to contact Canterbury Cricket Club please e-mail cricket@polofarm.org or contact the relevant Club Officer.
