Description
Welcome to Goodwood Cricket Club, a friendly and inclusive club that welcomes cricket enthusiasts of all skill levels. If you are interested in joining or have any inquiries, please reach out to our dedicated team.
Our cricket club has a rich history that dates back to 1702 when the Dukes of Richmond began enjoying the sport. In fact, the earliest known written laws of cricket were created for a game between the 2nd Duke of Richmond and Mr. Broderick of Peper Harow in 1727. Cricket has been a passion for subsequent Dukes of Richmond, including the 4th Duke who played at a high standard and even lent money to Mr. Lord, allowing him to purchase the famous cricket ground that now bears his name.
At Goodwood Cricket Club, we pride ourselves on playing a high standard of Sunday cricket against local and wandering teams. In 2017, we formed an alliance with Chichester Priory Park Cricket Club, a partnership that facilitates men's, women's, and junior cricket. The weekends are filled with exciting matches as we field six adult teams, in addition to CPPCC All Stars and junior sides ranging from Under 8 to Under 19 during the week. For those interested in junior cricket, we encourage you to contact CPPCC for more information.
In recent years, we have made significant investments in our facilities, including a complete renovation of our cricket square in 2018. The maintenance of our ground is a labor of love, as it is undertaken voluntarily by our dedicated club members. We are incredibly grateful to The Duke of Richmond and Gordon for allowing us to play on this beautiful and historic ground.
Goodwood Cricket Club is more than just a club; it is a close-knit community where members come together to enjoy the sport they love. Whether you are a seasoned player or new to the game, we welcome you with open arms. Join us today and become a part of the Goodwood Cricket Club family.
