Welcome to Folkestone Cricket Club

Folkestone Cricket Club run teams every week for players of all ages and abilities.

In 2013 the club moved to its stunning new Clubhouse and Sports Hall, an extensive redevelopment of the County Ground at Cheriton Road funded by a donation from the Roger De Haan Charitable Foundation.

Known as Three Hills Sports Park, the new facility provides a Centre of Excellence for Cricket, Hockey and Netball - creating one of the finest Sports Venues in the South East of England.

The history of FCC shows that the club has provided talented players for 155 years. In the long line of players that have played for Kent in recent years Robbie Joseph, Geraint Jones & James Tredwell have carried the club colours forward with pride and have played a part in coaching here.

This provides our 12-15 year olds with a pathway to senior cricket. Each year a small group of players are invited to join this programme which aim to give them the skills required to not just play Senior cricket but to contribute and dominate. Graduates of this program should have the confidence and ambition to forge a path to the top of the club.
All sessions are organised and run by Head Coach Roy Downey.
