Welcome to Folkestone Cricket Club

Winter Junior training is back........

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.

Under 9s Softball Cricket

We have a thriving U9 section at the club. A lot of the group have come through our All-Stars programmes whilst others are new to the game and have simply joined to "give it a go".
All our sessions are focused around fun whilst developing both fundamental and cricket specific skills.
The U9’s also got their first taste of competitive cricket, playing in the Kent Cricket new Forty5 Competition. We play other local sides in festivals that are held during June and July and did really well in the county finals days.
