Cricket
We are a club that welcomes new members of all ages and abilities for our Youth, Ladies and Senior Sections, so get in touch if you want to play for a great club with one of the best grounds in Essex.
On Saturdays we currently have 4 adult teams that play in the T Rippon League and 1 adult team that plays friendly matches. We have a very successful ladies’ team that usually plays on Friday evenings in the Beaumont Seymour League. We also have a thriving youth section with U15, U13, U11 teams plus our Saturday morning coaching for 4-11 year olds.

Football
The football section has adult teams from 16 to 60! Indeed one of our greatest players, Peter Gillott, played past his 70th birthday! So whatever your ability we have a team for you. Our sides play on Saturdays and Sundays in the Essex Olympian, Mid Essex, Essex Veterans, and Chelmsford Sunday Leagues. We have great facilities with pitches that have won a number of awards over the years. We train on a 3G floodlit artificial grass pitch every week, so there’s no excuse for not being fit. We pride ourselves on being a friendly club that welcomes anyone to join us. To find out more please email Dave Grainger at awayina@hotmail.com
Tennis
We welcome players of all ages and abilities and we have a thriving coaching programme, open to both non-members and members.
