Good morning all FCC member, families & players,
We are now officially seven weeks away from the first delivery of the 2026 summer season. At Frenford Cricket Club, this isn't just another year on the calendar, it is a landmark chapter in our history.
This summer, we are proud to field 8 senior teams across midweek & weekend fixtures, a lineup that reflects our relentless growth and our commitment to the game. Most notably, 2026 marks the debut of our inaugural Women's 2nd XI, a milestone that underscores our mission to make cricket accessible and competitive for everyone in our community and generating a clear pathway from our junior ranks into a robust 8-team senior structure.
Across these 8 sides, the Frenford badge will be represented in excess of 150 fixtures. Our reach is expanding; from our local roots in East London & Essex to wider territories beyond, we are taking the Frenford standard on the road.
As a club, a community, and a legacy, we are moving forward. The countdown is on seven weeks until we show the region what Frenford Cricket Club is all about.
