Putney Cricket Club was founded in 1870, and has been playing on the Lower Common in South West London for over 50 years. 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 AJ Sports Surrey Cricket League. About half of the games are played at home, the away games are generally played within South West London or North Surrey. The format is limited overs, with 45 overs per side, and no draws. 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 near the end of 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.
