Why join Putney? - 2 testimonials from 2 guys who signed up last year
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I moved to Putney to start working in London in August 2010 and found Putney CC on the internet. I went to the winter nets sessions at the Oval and also played some indoor cricket at Canary Wharf before the season started in 2011. I immediately felt at home with Putney – I’ve played at many different clubs but Putney was the first club I came across where you feel part of the club, no matter what your ability. I started off in very rusty form but improved towards the end of the season and played regular League cricket – the highlight of the season was being picked for the Saturday 1st XI even though I never bowled a ball as the match was rained off! I can’t wait for this coming season with Putney – it is honestly the best club I’ve played for and I’ve made some good friends too.

I joined Putney cricket club as soon as I moved into the area from Australia. After just my first game I felt welcomed and at home. I enjoy the competitiveness of cricket being played, and there is always a full complement of players from all teams enjoying a beer back at the clubhouse after the Saturday games. A great bunch of blokes support a full schedule of social events, who also support charitable causes. League fixtures are hard fought, and friendlies are generally enjoyable and keen.
Despite moving out of the area for my second season, I will travel across the City to keep playing with such a an organised and top notch bunch of blokes. Hopefully this year we can move a place up the table and get in the top two. Carn Putters!!!!

The current pavilion was constructed in 1959, and has been modernised in recent years to provide excellent facilities for club members. There are two changing rooms, with ample hot showers. The bar area is bright and clean, and serves draught and bottled beers at very reasonable prices. There is also a kitchen for preparation of teas and snacks. The club prides itself on providing players of both sides with a good tea between innings. We have just constructed a new outdoor practice net next to the pavilion to allow training sessions throughout the season. We also have a bowling machine for specialised batting practice.
The club runs three or four sides each weekend. On Saturdays two teams compete in the Fuller's Brewery Surrey County League. Half of the games are played at home, the away games are generally played within South West London or North Surrey. Matches are usually very competitive with frequent close and exciting finishes. The Sunday XIs play friendly matches, but enjoy competitive matches as much as the league teams do. There are several mid-week matches throughout the season, with a tour to Sussex and the Isle of Wight each July. During the winter nets are held at the Ken Barrington Cricket School at the Kennington Oval.
Matches usually start at 1.30pm and finish between 7.30 and 8pm. After the games players are encouraged to spend some time in the bar socialising with team-mates and opponents alike. The club is about more than just playing cricket.
