The Club Today

Membership

We are a club that has a thriving membership base. At present we have around 400 players that compete at all age levels in both league, friendly or junior Cricket. Our club is a focal point for our local community and regularly hosts events throughout the year which welcome a large social membership to the club. The club operates across two locations including the main ground at Quality Street and The Ring in Earlswood.

Teams

We are a club that accommodates Cricket for all, regardless of age, gender or ability. Our squads are made up of five separate Saturday league teams, two Sunday teams which include a development XI, a T20 team, 11 Junior sides of various ages as well as both Women’s and girls’ sections. Furthermore, we are also immensely proud to host a Disability XI which have been crowned champions in past years.

Charity Work

We are a club that values our connection to our local community and does all it can to support important causes where possible. We hold regular foodbank collections in aid of Stripey Stork and Loveworks. In April 2022 our club partnered with Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals Charity and hosted a charity fundraising match between our youth and senior sides. The event was a huge success with a total of £1,350.00 raised for the organisation. To read more about the occasion please visit: https://www.mersthamcc.co.uk/news/1208

Clubmark Accreditation

We are a club that is focused on the future. In 2009 MCC attained the official ECB Clubmark accreditation. This status was re-confirmed in 2012, 2016 and 2019, highlighting how we are a club that provides a safe, structured and supportive environment to play Cricket. This prestigious status is synonymous with our ethos to be the best provider of Cricket to our community, whilst valuing the work we do towards a sustainable future for our members.

Aspirations

We have grand ambitions for the future. At our core we are a club that has always been, and always will be, focused on providing good-level Cricket to every individual. We do not believe in boundaries, figuratively speaking, which is why we have developed sides at every level within every section that we can offer. However, our work is far from done. Using our foundation and reputation we want to continue to advance by growing our membership further to provide additional playing opportunities for all within our area.

This is the reason why we have now chosen to partner with SNAP Sponsorship. With our club now enable to promote its broad range of advertising opportunities we hope to secure essential revenue to help fund our enhancement. From this we are certain that we can raise our profile, both on and off the field, maximising our own exposure whilst providing important support to the valued business connections that we will partner with from our local community.

In recent years the club has experienced vast ups and downs, through both tremendous promotions and bitter relegations. However, in 2012 MCC was named as the ECB’s focus club. The Natwest Cricket force, accompanied by professional Cricketers, helped to open the club’s new pavilion which helped prepare the club to re-open its new pavilion to mark the 150^th anniversary in 2014. Since 2017 MCC has fielded four competitive teams in the Surrey County League and Surrey Championship providing a high standard of Cricket for
