The club has two teams in the Hertfordshire Cricket League where games are played on Saturdays. The 1st team is currently in Division 6 and the second team in Division 11. There is also a Mid-Week Twenty/20 team and a Sunday team which plays friendlies, mainly at home. The Sunday team is usually made up from second team players plus others who are unavailable to play on Saturdays.

There is a thriving colts section. Net practice for colts in the Under 13 age group (school year 8 and below) is on a Monday evening at 6pm at the club. For everyone else over that age group, practice is on Tuesday evening also at 6pm at the club. Indoor winter nets are also arranged.

Older colts are encouraged to play in the second team on Saturdays as well as in the Sunday side.

Training is usually from the end of April through to at least the last weekend in August. Colts also play matches in a league (currently only at under 13) and friendly matches are arranged.

The club is an ECB accredited ‘Focus Club’ with Clubmark status. The club abides by the ECB Directive on Child Welfare and all adult club members are required to sign a criminal records self declaration form every season. In addition a full criminal record check is carried out on team captains and vice captains and anyone who works with the colts.

Subscriptions are currently £100 per annum for adults; £50 for students and unemployed members; £50 for colts in school years 10 to 13 and £40 for school year 9 and below. There is also a £10 discount for siblings and a £20 social membership is available.

In addition to the above, adults pay £7 per match and juniors £4 per match to cover match day fees (teas etc) on a Saturday and Sunday. Colts do not pay any additional fees for matches.

 

The club holds occasional social events such as quiz nights.
