Frindsbury Cricket Club

Frindsbury Cricket Club The club stayed there until 1963 when Long Meadow was compulsory purchased by a local cement firm.

Welcome to Frindsbury Cricket Club

Frindsbury Cricket Club was founded in 1885 and first played at Long Meadow which was situated behind the old Strood Rural District council Offices on Frindsbury Hill. A new ground was found at Frogs Island, Upnor which has been our home since that time. A new brick built pavilion was erected in 1984 following a fire that destroyed the original wooden clubhouse.

The following year, 1985, saw the Club marking it’s centenary year by winning the old South Thames League for the only time. In the years following this League title success, Frindsbury’s fortunes fluctuated somewhat. However, the past few seasons have seen a marked upturn both on and off the pitch, thanks mainly to a vibrant and committed group of young players who have had the Frindsbury traditions and ethos instilled into them by the Club’s Senior Members. There are currently two Saturday sides in the Kent Cricket League structure. There is also the Sunday side who compete in the Kent Village League. In addition to weekend cricket, the Frindsbury Frogs compete in The Smash - Kent's biggest 100 ball competition.

Frindsbury are Division 5 Spitfire Champions 🏆

The 1XI capped off an epic season with a win at Tonbridge on Saturday.

Winning the toss and batting first, the Frindsbury openers Alex Carr (57) and Jordan White (62) got the Berries off to a dream start in a huge game. After a strong opening partnership of 91, Tonbridge fought back well to keep the score below 200, with Frindsbury setting a first-innings score of 196.

After tea, the opening pair picked up an early wicket each, with Gibbo going on to take another two of the middle order. It was a day for pace-off bowling, as the Gracey brothers picked up five wickets, Mark (3) and Sam (2), including the dismissal of the dangerous overseas. Redemption for Adam Palmer after dropping the league all those years ago, he made no mistake this time.

The winning moment fell to Sam Dudgeon, taking the last wicket and sending the Berries to Division 4!

Frindsbury thought they’d won it… they have now 💙

Frindsbury 2XI are Division 9 Knott Champions 🏆

It was a washout for the 2s on Saturday, but those 10 points took them past the 5 they needed to secure their first league title since 2008!

A huge well done to all 36 players who represented the side this year, and massive credit to Akhil, who captained the team to success in just his third year as skipper.

16 games, 12 wins, 2 abandoned and just 2 losses is an incredible season, and as you can see, celebrations went on late into the night! 💙

A thrilling Saturday at Frindsbury Cricket Club…

With the weather firmly against us, the 1XI pulled off a miracle to force a result against Cobham in the only completed game across the Kent Cricket League’s top nine divisions!

As the rain began to clear, the captains and umpires agreed to a T20, with Frindsbury winning the toss and electing to field first.

The Berries were ruthless, taking regular wickets, with the 10th and final wicket falling on the last ball of the innings. Cobham were bowled out for just 71 from their 20 overs.

With more rain on the way, the message was clear: score quickly. Despite Cobham’s best efforts to slow the game down, that’s exactly what the boys did! The Berries chasing the total in just 6.2 overs.

A crucial 18 points sends Frindsbury back to the top of Division 5 Spitfire, with just one game remaining!

A famous result on our cricket weekend could only mean one thing… big celebrations were to follow!

Huge thanks to Sean Farrelly for an awesome set, and well done to everyone on their fantastic costumes, what a night! Up the Berries 💙

On Sunday, Bailey lost the toss, but his side were asked to bat first against Kent Royals (Hollingbourne).

The Wagamama boys opened the batting and started positively, putting on 50 without loss. In-form bat Sam Collis came to the crease and took the score over 100 alongside the skipper, but a few quick wickets brought The Berries back to 125-5 with 15 overs to go. Jacob and Jordan White pushed on brilliantly to get FCC up to 194 from their 40 overs.

An opening pair of Richard Gibbons and cheese boy Matt Jupp bowled beautifully, restricting the scoring and taking wickets. Juppy had the ball on a cheese string, finishing with excellent figures of 9 overs, 4 maidens, 2 wickets for just 9 runs.

Opposition batsman number 5, and familiar face Shabbir Sayed, put up a respectable fight, but when Simon removed his partner, it was too much to ask of Shabbir, who was eventually dismissed by Arjun. Harry Walsh finished the job with the final wicket, The Berries winning by 66 runs.

A convincing win in their last home game of the season. The Sunday side have performed well, especially considering they were promoted last year. Credit to everyone involved!

One more game to go on 6th September 💙

AND THAT IS PROMOTION CONFIRMED! ⬆️🍾🥳

FCC 2nd XI sealed their promotion with a convincing six-wicket victory over Leeds & Broomfield.

After losing the toss and being asked to field, FCC’s bowlers did the damage, with skipper Coomber, Dhruvin, Pemba, Ruchir and Chapman combining to restrict the hosts to just 122.

In reply, Man of the Match Jacob Knight led the chase with a sublime unbeaten 43, ably supported by newcomer Arjun Anilkumar, who chipped in with a rapid 23.

Six wickets in hand, promotion secured, and just five points needed from the final game to clinch the title.

The 2s are going up. Now let’s finish the job. 🏆

The 1XI got back to winning ways on Saturday…

The travelling side OD CUACO not having an umpire meant Frindsbury won the toss by default and elected to bowl first.

The OD openers were able to get a few away up front before Luke Hills (2-14) and Sam Gracey (3-9) wrestled the game into Frindsbury’s control. Tight bowing from the Berries was the key, with 10 maidens in total, the visitors could only make 135 from their 45 overs.

In reply, skipper Alex Carr rode his luck before being dismissed early doors. A few useful partnerships followed with Sam Collis once again anchoring the innings. OD CUACO had their chances, but after surviving two drop catches in an over, Collis capitalised to score an unbeaten 65*.

The 1XI will be back at home again on Saturday as they face Cobham on Cricket Weekend!
