It is said that cricket was first played on the common in Redbourn in 1666. Redbourn Cricket Club was officially founded some time prior to 1823, making the Club one of the oldest clubs in Hertfordshire. In 2023 we are celebrating our bicentenary.
We have five senior teams playing in the Saracens Herts Premier Cricket League on Saturdays and Sundays we also have a social side who play a number of friendly fixtures against local clubs.
Our 1XI has enjoyed considerable success in recent years and in 2025 will play in the Championship, having been promoted from Division 1 last season. The 2XI play in Division 3B having been promoted twice in recent years. The 3rd, 4th and 5th XIs play in Division 8 West, 13 West and 14 West respectively.
In 2020 our 1XI played at Lord's in the final of the Cricketer magazine's National Village Knockout Cup. Sadly, they lost on the final ball of the match, but are determined to go one better.
As a club, we continue to promote women's and girl's cricket. Our senior women's side will in 2025 play in the newly formed Herts Women's League. The League has also created a Softball Division and we are delighted that for the first time ever the Club will also field a Softball League team. If you are interested in playing either hardball or softball Women's cricket please contact Joanna Roe here.
We have approximately 300 juniors from U6s - U15s age groups playing regularly, including a girls section that offers the opportunity for girls to play cricket in an "all girls" environment. All of our league squads (U8s -U15s, girls & boys) are coached by professional coaches in addition to the RCC volunteer coaches, providing enhanced coaching over both winter and summer training. We also run the ECB national All Stars and Dynamos (Girls only) programs. Please contact Dave Irwin if you would like more information about your child joining our Juniors' or Girls' section at juniors@redbourncricketclub.uk
We are always keen to welcome new senior players as well, irrespective of ability. For more membership information please contact us through this website or email Jon Fleming our Chairman of Selectors here.
