Welcome to Matching Green Cricket Club

We are a friendly village cricket club playing in the very picturesque village of Matching Green in the rural north west of Essex near the Essex/Herts border. The cricket square is in the middle of the Green, the largest designated village green in Essex. Cricket has been

played on the Green since the 1830s. We have a strong commitment to Junior cricket development in the community. We have two Saturday XIs playing in the Herts & Essex Border League and a Sunday XI playing friendlies. We also play midweek cricket including the 20 over League Cup, League Shield and the Russell Properties Davies Cup. We also participate in the The Cricketer National Village Cup competition.

On the field, in 2025 we won an unprecedented four trophies; Herts & Essex Border League Champions, HEBL Division 3 winners, HEBL League Cup winners and Boardman's Davies Cup winners.
We have a successful Junior section and hold coaching sessions on Friday evenings for boys and girls from 5 years old. Our Under 11 and Under 15 teams play in the local district competitions.
During the winter months we field senior teams and Junior teams in the local indoor league. In 2011 our senior indoor team were overall runners-up in the Essex Indoor Competition.
Off the field we were delighted to finish a fantastic new pavilion in 2013 which really creates a focal point on the village green. Overlooked by the village pub this really is village cricket at its best! Our pavilion host numerous events including, new in 2024, our successful Thursday Club, a place for everyone, whatever age, to come along and enjoy a cup of tea, a slice of cake and a chat with like-minded people. From small beginnings we now have 35 regular attendees.

The club are always looking for new members and volunteers.
If you are interested in joining please email the Secretary Martin Figg martin@matchinggreencc.com
