🏆 SAXON SHORE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS! 🏆

FCC U13s rounded off a fantastic season in style, beating Sibton Park by 23 runs to be crowned league champions!

A composed batting display, smart running and great awareness saw us post a competitive 117/8. Sibton kept pace for much of their chase and looked threatening with five overs to go, but some crucial wickets, sharp fielding, safe catching and excellent captaincy from Eli helped restrict them to 94 all out.

A brilliant team performance and a fitting end to a season that has seen skills improve, confidence grow and friendships strengthen. The togetherness this group has shown all year has been outstanding.

A huge thank you to all the coaches, parents and supporters who have given so much time and energy throughout the season.

Well played, lads – thoroughly deserved champions! Enjoy it! 🏏🥇🎉

Championes! Championes! Olé, Olé, Olé! 🏆💙🤍

An outstanding team performance from the Folkestone U9s!

U9 Countdown Competition Match Report
Venue: Nonington Cricket Club

What a fantastic evening of cricket for our U9s at The Countdown 40 competition at Nonington CC on Sunday 5th July!
Competing against Broadstairs, Deal Victoria & Barns Close, Nonington, and Sibton Park, the team produced an outstanding display of skill, teamwork, and determination throughout the tournament.
The progress this group has made was evident for everyone to see, with the youngsters rising to every challenge and delivering impressive performances in all four matches.
Results
✅ Folkestone 117 – 49 Nonington
✅ Folkestone 150 – 64 Broadstairs
✅ Folkestone 153 – 115 Deal Victoria & Barns Close
✅ Folkestone 99 – 84 Sibton Park
An incredible achievement of Played 4, Won 4, with every player contributing to a memorable clean sweep.
Beyond the results, what stood out most was the confidence, enthusiasm, and teamwork displayed by the squad. Their batting, bowling and fielding continue to improve, and all the hard work put in at training is clearly paying off.
As was said to the team after the final match:
"I am so proud of every single one of them."
They have performed brilliantly, and the progress they have made is there for all to see. Every player should be proud of their efforts and the way they represented Folkestone Cricket Club.
A special thank you to U9 coach Dave Jepson, whose dedication, encouragement and commitment to developing these young cricketers is making a huge difference. The team's improvement throughout the season is a testament to the hard work of both the players and Dave's coaching.
After such a tremendous evening of cricket, one thing is certain... I'm sure they'll all sleep well tonight! ??

A truly memorable experience for the junior members of Folkestone Cricket Club, who had the honour of forming the guard of honour at a Kent Vitality Blast match at the Spitfire Ground on Friday — a great chance to experience a live match and meet their heroes. A fantastic opportunity and an unforgettable day for our young cricketers!

🌍 Folkestone Women’s First International Tour! 🇫🇷🏏

What a weekend for our women’s team! 🙌
Formed just last summer, the squad has gone from complete beginners to a confident, competitive group—and this weekend marked a huge milestone: their first international tour to France! 🇫🇷

Travelling to Valenciennes with coaches Malcolm and Alwyn, the team played three matches against mixed opposition. All games were competitive, but the progress this group has made was clear—winning all three matches 👏

Off the pitch, the team also had the chance to try baseball with their hosts, making it a brilliant all-round experience.

This tour wasn’t just about results—it showed how quickly women can grow in sport when given the opportunity, and the power of building confidence, friendships and community through cricket ❤️

A fantastic achievement in just one year—this is only the beginning!

Folkestone Cricket Club would like to extend its sincere thanks to Matt Parkinson, Kent and England leg‑spinner, for delivering an excellent U13/U15 winter training session last Monday.

It was a valuable opportunity for our young players to learn from an experienced professional, and we are confident they have taken away important insights that will support their development.

We greatly appreciate Matt’s time, expertise, and commitment to nurturing young talent.

What a winter for the Folkestone Ladies! Less than a year ago, over half our squad had never even touched a cricket bat. Today, we finished a massive winter season as 4th Place Overall in the Kent East Indoor Softball League!

Chestfield won the toss and put us in. Our first pair Ali and Jo put on 39 for the loss of one wicket. Emma and Jane followed up with a 48 run stand without losing a wicket despite quite a few running mix ups. Michelle and Alice lost 3 wickets putting on 32, leaving us 119-4 (net 99). Despite good pairing scores something just did not click in our batting today, their bowling was reasonably straight but we left a fair few runs out there compared to our normal levels. Consequently, 99 always looking a little light.
The opening Chestfield pair put on 50 for no loss as we suffered with our bowling width. Michelle, Jo and Ali brought us back into the game restricting the second pair to 36 but taking 4 wickets including 3 in one over from Michelle. With the last pair to come Chestfield were 86-4 (net 66) compared to our 82 at this stage. Once again we were undone with a last wicket stand of 71 (for 1) dominated by one batsman. Chestfield ended up at 157 for 5 (net 132) beating us by 33 runs.
Despite the disappointment of today the winter season has been a massive success for the ladies. Less than one year ago more than 50% of our team had not touched a cricket bat before and here we are regularly playing and beating teams that have been at it for up to 5 years. We played 7 games this winter and won 5, we won one of the leagues, came second in the other and finished 4th in the playoffs. By any comparison that is a fantastic record. Perhaps more importantly we achieved it in a fun and inclusive way. Well done to all the ladies.
Much more to come in the summer as we have entered two leagues, have a series of festivals and potentially a tour to France. Whatever you want from Ladies cricket FCC is set up to cater for it.
