North Enfield Cricket Club is a family orientated club running competitive and social cricket for adults and coaching and competitive cricket for juniors.
North Enfield Cricket Club aims to further the interests of Club Cricket (in accordance with the C.C.C. rules) and to organise various social and sporting activities for the benefit and entertainment of its Members.
The Club has participated in league cricket in various forms over the years, principally the Saturday Hertfordshire League and the Chess Valley Sunday league from its inception until 2007. The Club fields two teams at present - in Divisions 3 and 7 respectively for the 1st and 2nd XIs on the back of promotions in 2010 for both sides and 2013 again for the 2 XI. A 3rd XI has run in various forms over the years, the most recent incarnation from 2004-2007, playing home games at the much-missed Enfield Invicta ground. The plan over the coming seasons is to resurrect the 3rd XI as our very promising youngsters start to come through and play league cricket.
A Sunday friendly XI also operates for those who prefer their cricket to be of a more relaxed nature. Sunday fixtures are played home and away against teams from North and East London, Hertfordshire and Essex. Sunday cricket is of a very mixed standard with a ‘give everybody a game’ emphasis (and provision of a good tea also features high on priority lists). In the last few years, we have played a number of Friday night games either as charity fundraisers or as social events. The pitch may be hired on Friday nights for office/club games - all enquiries for pitch hire welcomed. The Colts section goes from strength to strength – and for 2012, a number of Development XI fixtures, incorporating colts and adult players have also been arranged. We are also participants in the Enfield Cricket Development Partnership, between a number of clubs in the borough, which aims to bring a united group to speak for amateur club, school and other cricket in the area.
North Enfield has always prided itself on being a family-orientated club, with multiple generations of the same family often playing concurrently. A glance at the cricket honours board is conclusive proof that North Enfield cricket has been a family affair from its earliest days.
