Senior cricket at HWCC offers a wide range of opportunities for players of all abilities due to number of teams we have that play league cricket on Saturdays. In 2024, we had 57 senior players signed on at the club, a great achievement with the hope we can continue to grow our thriving senior section

Our 1st XI compete in the Home Counties Cricket League, where we have won the title 9 times since 2000, only matched by one other side in the league. In 2024, our 1st XI came close the title, missing out by 3 points finishing 3rd.

The 2nd XI - 5th XI all play in the Thames Valley Cricket League with our 2nd XI in Division 2, 3rd in Division 5, 4th XI in Division 7 and 5th XI in Division 9. In 2024 our 2nd XI finished 3rd having gone close all season, the 3rd XI finished 5th, 4th XI finished 3rd by 2 points to top having lost only 2 games all season and our 5th XI finished 5th.

In 2025, we hope to have a 6th XI playing league cricket to provide additional league matches for all players in Senior cricket and our talented juniors.

At HWCC, training is a big part of the way we go about our cricket, we start pre season in January with nets and fielding practice on Wednesday nights and offer from October nets indoors at John Hampden on Saturday mornings through until April.

When we move outside, each of our teams has a designated training night which is around 2hrs of training in of training per week in our astroturf nets and grass nets (When weather allows!). A big part of our training is fielding, we want to be the best fielding team in our leagues, so each week, each squad will do a minimum of 30 minutes fielding training per week.
