Outwood Cricket Club
Outwood Cricket Club (founded in 1887[1] by Roger Cook)[2] is a cricket club in the village of Outwood, Surrey, England.
The club plays on a grass wicket in National Trust woodland, for which it pays a peppercorn rent.
The club fields several teams across three different English counties given the village location near the boundaries of Kent, Surrey and Sussex.[3]
- The Saturday 1st XI and 2nd XI play league cricket in the Kent County Village League (KCVL). The 1st XI won Division 1 of the KCVL three years in a row: 2022, 2023 and 2024.[4] The Outwood Outlaws play in the Surrey Slam T20 competition, winning the Plate competition in 2022.[5]
- The women's team, the Outwood Blazes, compete in the Surrey Slam, Surrey SmashIT! and the Surrey Cricket Women's League.
- The Sunday XI play friendly games including midweek T20s.
- The club has an academy on Thursday evenings throughout the summer for ages 6–16.
The club benefits from modern facilities: the original Victorian-era pavilion was rebuilt in 2011, and has two AstroTurf nets installed in 2015.
