Winter Net Locations - South of England
« on: September 27, 2015, 07:41:00 PM »
Seeing as I have lined up lots of new chums for winter nets, I could do with a bit of help with some locations to net at. I am well aware of the Oval and Serious Cricket.

I could really do with any advice for locations or experiences of nets in:


Dorking / Leatherhead / Oxshott area

Heathrow / Hayes / Hounslow / West Drayton Area

Fulham / Brentford area

Croydon / Sutton / Kingston area

Croydon has the Cricket 4 Change centre where I've been playing for a club for the last 4 weeks. Not sure on how bookings work but they have two nets; only had a sneak peek inside it but looks half decent.

Yup - we netted there a couple of years ago - if I can arrange one there, could you make it over there?

Depends on dates, times etc. Work in Knightsbridge till 6 so imagine it'd take me a good hour and a bit. Plus during peak hours its £6 odd on the tube/train. Knightsbridge/Fulham/Kensington area after work would be slightly better but I've no idea about anywhere in the area.

Definitely interested though, could do with a few pointers from some more experienced players!

As you've already mentioned serious cricket (which I'd be up for) can I suggest the Ageas bowl too?

When are you looking at getting this all going? I still need to buy a helmet and a proper bat, but I'm waiting until IJC get the 2016 ranges in so I can go and take a look.

Any sports halls/leisure centres south of the river with hire facilities?

I'll put in my vote for Surrey Cricket Centre at George Abbott School in Guildford...  Mind you quite tempted by Serious Cricket though a bit of a hike

There is Trinity School, Croydon. five lane nets, decent facility, parking can get busy. Decent light. Not sure on cost however.

I live about 15 mins from Guildford could do anything in that area.

Just bumping this; I don't think I can do any of the Surrey coaching sessions for the next fortnight, don't suppose a decent enough amount of people fancy something one evening?
