Title: Where can i book a pitch?
Post by: arif786 on September 13, 2010, 10:00:23 PM

Does anyone know where I can book a pitch?
I have tried all the local councils and cricket clubs in my area(Slough)
I dont mind travelling a bit but not too far

Smaller village clubs tend to be far more accomodating for booking pitches as they have far fewer games on and are more grateful for the money!

give my father an email - ukasaunders@gmail.com - he's a groundsman at two clubs in the bucks area and might be able to find something for you.

Burnham, Slough, Beaconsfield all have 2nd pitches as well. Windsor has about 4 pitches!

to be honest, I could name nearly every club in a 10 mile radius of slough if it helps. I did play my cricket in the thames valley for 20 years :-)

Toward the end of the season it was quite difficult to get a pitch. We tried almost every club near Slough: Datchet, Stoke Green, Burnham, Slough, Gerrards Cross, Farnham Royal, Windsor, Hayes, Boyne Hill, Maidenhead and Bray, Beaconsfield, etc . Most clubs either had fixtures or were not hiring their pitches anymore.
