Welcome to Hadleigh and Thundersley Cricket Club
Founded in 1946, we pride ourselves on our competitive standard of cricket and thriving social scene. If you are looking for a cricket club in Essex near Hadleigh, Thundersley, Benfleet, Leigh-on-Sea or Southend then we could be the club for you!
Our Saturday 1s play in the Hamro Foundation Essex League's Premier Division – the best in Essex. Our club’s youth teams are also successful in local leagues. We recognise that youth development is very important, from boys and girls aged 5 to 8 joining our All Stars programme, to introducing youth players to open age cricket. Our cricket club will always welcome new players of all ages and ability. We are excited to be growing participation from women and girls through our women's cricket sessions and Dynamos programme for 8 to 11 year old girls.
While we are primarily a cricket club, we also have a vibrant social scene, taking advantage of our outstanding pavilion and bar facilities. Social members can enjoy evenings across the year with food and drink, live music, quizzes and watching international sporting events at our bar. We're a family friendly club and members can introduce guests to use our club facilities.
We are also a community hub which hiring our facilities to community groups in the Castle Point and Southend-on-Sea area.
