The Church, which became one of the Trustees of the Estate, reluctantly allowed Sunday cricket for the first time in 1961 and in 1975 League cricket came to the village. Since then, the Club has retained their village atmosphere whilst progressing within the League set-up in Essex. The present pavilion was erected in 1964 and extended in 1977.
Havering-Atte-Bower Cricket Club is a friendly club, which caters for players of all standards. We compete in Division 3, Division 7 and Division 11 of the T.Rippon Mid Essex Saturday League and the Central Essex Sunday Cricket league on Sundays, as well as the many friendly games in the four Saturday sides and Sunday side. The Colts compete at Under 11, 13, 15 level and many go on to compete in the senior teams whilst still playing colts cricket.
If you want to play cricket in an ideal village location with the competition of League cricket, contact the Secretary on the email, or come up and visit us at the weekends.
