"Nurturing Young Talent, Building Future Stars."
Junior Cricket
At Harpsden Cricket Club, we pride ourselves on being a family-focused community, dedicated to nurturing a love for cricket among our juniors. Our goal is to inspire the next generation to enjoy the game as much as we do.
We warmly encourage parents to get involved, whether by stepping into a coaching role as assistant coaches or simply supporting from the sidelines. For those who prefer to relax, our newly opened bar, launched in 2024, offers a welcoming space to unwind. Fully licensed, it serves a selection of drinks alongside tasty bar snacks.
“Harpsden is more than a cricket club—it’s a place where families come together to share in the fun and spirit of the game.”
