About Us
We play every Saturday in the North East London Pub League, and most Sundays in friendly matches. Games start at 2pm and generally last about 35 overs per side. The strip isn't the greatest, though the council have relaid it in the past, but the setting is one of the nicest in London. Fifty yards from the Pub On The Park, the pitch is surrounded by plane trees, and also, on summer days, by a fairly large crowd of drinkers with half an eye on the game. Here's a map.
As a pub team we like our beer. Quite a lot. Though obviously there's no pre-requisite to drink after every game. We've had half-drinkers and even teetotalers in the team in the past.
Every September we go on our European Tour. In the past we have played to Mechelen CC many times and more recently Lubljana CC.
Mechelen is part of Flanders, where they really appreciate their beer. Their cricket team always do very well in Belgian Division One or Two, and have several players who represent Belgium's international team.
Lubljana is, well, just a riot.
