Sutton Cricket Club is an active club running two senior Saturday teams in the north east of Cambridgeshire

We have been playing cricket here in Sutton since 1880. Our President hasn’t quite been playing since then (despite persistent rumours to the contrary) There are however families in the village whose names occur on some of the early photographs in our pavilion

We have a lovely ground here in Sutton, alongside Station Road. It is surrounded by hedges and trees, with a splendid view up to St Andrew’s church. The outfield is distinguished by remnants of the pre enclosure Ridge and Furrow system, (making for interesting fielding challenges at times). We also have one of the very few remaining mature Elm trees left in the village, an old pollarded tree, probably close to 200 years old. Do come down on a Saturday afternoon from early May and support your local club.

💚💛 Sutton Cricket Club – Sad News

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Club President, Clive Hughes, over the weekend.

Clive served as Club President for over 40 years and was also a former 1st XI Captain and Youth Coach.

Clive dedicated so much of his life to Sutton Cricket Club, contributing both on and off the field. From playing and coaching to supporting the club behind the scenes, he was a familiar face and a huge part of the club for generations.

His commitment, passion and many years of service helped shape Sutton CC into the club it is today. His contribution will never be forgotten, and he will be greatly missed by everyone associated with the club.

Our thoughts are with Clive’s family and friends at this sad time.

Rest in peace, Clive. 💚💛
