Wormsley Cricket Festival

Thanks to our Chief Patron, Lady Victoria Getty, Wormsley Cricket has hosted us for a charity day since 2019. In that time, the day has been used to raise valuable funds as well as provide a once in a lifetime opportunity for children, young people, and families to play and take part in cricket activities at the ground. In 2024, the day played host to a women’s T20 contested between a CKC XI and Hursley Park CC, soft ball cricket games and drills for children from Whitchurch Primary School, and a charity match played between a Coutts Bank XI and a Coutts President’s XI. We would like to thank Coutts Bank for their Cricket for a Cause campaign launched with the charity match and for all the funds it has raised and continues to raise!

The Coutts game saw some excellent batting displays with Alex Godley (r) scoring an unbeaten century for the President’s XI and Tristan Caviet (l) scoring an amazing 160 not out including a match winning 6 off the last delivery of the game.

During the 2019 school summer holiday we ran our first ever Wormsley Cricket Festival at the spectacular Wormsley Estate Cricket Ground situated among the Chiltern Hills. With support from our Chief Patron, Lady Getty, under 13s teams comprising of players from 3 of our club projects (Leyton Wicketz CC, West Ham and Stratford CC and Spikes Bridge Junior CC) took part in a twenty over, hard ball, competition and training sessions. 

We are excited to grow this festival over the coming years and possibly add it to our residential trip programme!
