Hook & Southborough Cricket Club (H&SCC) was established in 1870 and has played continuously every season since that date to include even the war years when it was one of the few clubs whose ground was not commandeered by the government for war purposes. Between 1870 and 1905 the club's ground was on the site of the Hook Community Centre and after match refreshments were taken at the Lucky Rover Public House which still exists today. In 1906 H&SCC took up residence at the, then new, King Edwards Recreation Ground using this venue every Saturday and Sunday until 1975. In the 1950's a purpose built clubhouse was erected on this site and a bar license was granted. In 1975 the club moved to a new private ground to the rear of King Edwards Rec. In 2003 the clubhouse was destroyed in an arson attack. In the years since the fire the club has played at several locations. 2011 saw the club return to Hook. As a partnership with Holyfield School the club has made its new home in Somerset Avenue and are looking to improve the playing facilities for 2012.
The club has two Saturday teams which compete in the Surrey Cricket League and a Sunday friendly side with a full fixture list. We are always on the look out for new players of all standards.
