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.

Forty U11 Finals Day at Sibton Park
Sunday 7th Septerber 2025

A big well done to the whole team today. Glorious sunshine and a fantastic day of cricket.

We fought hard all day, winning games by big margins and only suffering narrow defeats meaning we came away with second place on the day.

Great performance from all the players. A special mention to our U9 ringers who put in a great shift for us and made the day possible.

A great day all round.

That's our last planned outing for 2025.

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the end of season awards on Fri 10th October!

Folkestone Cricket Club are delighted to have been awarded a grant from the Barclays Community Sport Fund, being delivered in partnership with Sported.

The Barclays Community Sport Fund offers grants, training and support resources to help reduce inequalities in sport – with a focus on football, tennis and cricket. The fund supports community groups and grassroots sports organisations (like ours) who make sport more accessible to young people from underrepresented groups.

Sported is a charity which delivers expertise, resources and vital support to clubs and groups that use sport and physical activity to make a positive impact on young people – and on our communities – throughout the UK.

The grant will help us make our activities more accessible for women and girls in our community.
