This event follows on from the success of the Petworth Park Cricket Club Junior Summer Sessions this August, which saw more than 60 five to 11 year olds from the local area attend a series of free coaching events on Saturday mornings with an experienced and qualified Junior coach from the Sussex Cricket Foundation at the newly revived Petworth Park Cricket ground.

“With everyone’s support we are bringing cricket back to Petworth Park!”

The event took place on Saturday, November 26, starting at 7.30pm.

Cricket in Petworth Park has a history dating back to the early 1800s, with five recorded first class matches in the 1840’s when Petworth Cricket Club was a major team. A group of locals are now coming together to revive cricket in Petworth Park.
