Cove Cricket Club
Cove Cricket Club is located in the North East corner
of Hampshire close to parts of Surrey and Berkshire. The old village of
Cove is now on the outskirts of Farnborough, the home of the famous
Airshow.
The club, first established in 1935, has steadily
grown from its original “village cricket team” to the present day
position of a leading club side not only in the area but also in
Hampshire. It fields five senior sides on a Saturday including an Academy
XI playing in the Morrant Thames Valley Cricket League and one side on a
Sunday playing a combination of league and friendly games.
For many years now we have invested heavily into
establishing a successful colts section to develop our club players of the
future as well as District and County representative teams. The investment
has seen the number of qualified coaches treble in the last couple of
years. In 2007 we established our mini's section, providing cricket
related fun on a Monday evening for players aged 4 to 7. In 2008 we
launched a Cricket Academy with the objective of developing the technical
ability and all-round game knowledge of our future 1st XI players. We run
boys teams at U9, U11, U13, and U15 and girls teams at U13 and U15.
In addition to the on field activities, Cove work
hard to encourage the players families to become part of the club and run
several family oriented social evenings throughout the year.
