'At the heart of the town, at the heart of the community'
Located on the east Hertfordshire and west Essex border, Sawbridgeworth is a friendly cricket club always welcoming new members and visitors. The Club boasts amongst the best facilities in Hertfordshire, as well as a friendly and social atmosphere.
The club is affiliated to the Hertfordshire County Cricket Association, the Club Cricket Conference and is a member of the Home Counties Premier League and Saracens Hertfordshire Cricket League.
We compete with six league XI's on a Saturday and two on a Sunday. The 1st XI play in Division Two East of the Home Counties Premier Cricket League, while the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th XI's are in Divisions 3, 8, 11, 13 and 14 of the Saracens Hertfordshire Cricket League.
The 1st XI also compete in three cup competitions: the Hertfordshire County Cup, Evening Standard Challenge Trophy and the ECB National Club Knockout Competition (Cockspur Cup).
We are also proud to have a thriving colts section, fielding teams for seven age groups and competing in the Hertfordshire youth leagues.
Taken on Monday 10th September the square is being Koro'd, a process which skims up to 6 cm of the top to be replaced by fresh Ongar loam. The square was levelled at the same time. The job was in the hands of Steven Pask Ltd, one of the most respected ground specialists in the country. It took a week to complete at a cost of £16,000 and was paid for by 50% grants from each of the ECB and East Herts Council.
