Cowdrey is a friendly, progressive and successful cricket club. We have two Saturday senior teams playing in the Kent Feeder League and Kent League, as well as a Sunday team, a Development/academy squad, and a very healthy Colts section. Emphasis on promoting youth through our coaching and selection policy is beginning to pay dividends.

England and Wales Cricket Board Clubmark

Having achieved ClubMark status in 2007, further hard work and dedication has seen us being successfully awarded Focus club accreditation early in 2008, recognition by the KCB of the clubs ambitious development plans and achievements.

Our 1st XI will be hoping to win promotion to the Kent Cricket League this year, having narrowly missed out in 2007 by just two points after finishing second in division 1A of the Feeder League on 318 points. Skipper Glen Warner received the top division batting award for the 3rd successive season while Chris Fenwick and Gary Marshall finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively in the bowling stats. The 2nd XI enjoyed a better season in Div 5 of the Kent Cricket League finishing mid-table, up 3 places from the previous season.

Pride of place in the club went to our under 15 team who finished as 2007 Champions of the Border League in a very strong division which included teams such as St Lawrence, Sevenoaks Vine, Holmesdale and the National knock out champions, Tunbridge Wells. With so much local young cricketing talent in their ranks, Cowdrey have now invited a dozen young players to attend their newly formed Cricket Academy, under the leadership of ECB level 2 coach Gary Marshall who, with another 3 qualified coaches assisting, will help develop the talents of these special youngsters and assist with their transition into the adult game. Most of these lads will be forming our Sunday team in division A of the Aero Development League playing against other development teams many of whom are from clubs in the higher divisions of the Kent Cricket League. We also maintain a Sunday XI which will continue to play social cricket against long standing opposition. The Cowdrey club continues to attract around 135 colts each week to summer evening coaching and provides league cricket for 5 colts teams.

After two previous enjoyable cricket tours, this year will see the club touring around the Havant / Portsmouth area of Hampshire in July, hoping to get in more cricket than they did in last years wet tour to Worcester.
