Stone Cricket Club

Welcome to the website of Stone Cricket Club, we are a friendly cricket team playing in Wilmington, Kent. All our matches are friendly games, which suits our mentality of playing with a smile on our faces. Our squad consists of players from just 11 years old to 50 plus. The club has a rich heritage – we were formed in 1888 – and is steeped in tradition. Our Club President started playing for the club over 50 years ago! If you are interested in playing friendly cricket on a Saturday afternoon, please get in touch with us or visit us at Oakfield Park, Wilmington, on a Saturday afternoon during the summer.

OUR HISTORY

135 years of cricket played the right way. For fun.

Formed in 1888, Stone Cricket Club has a great history as a community based cricket team. During the club's existence it has seen many great players and characters represent Stone CC. Our history is important to us, which is why we have named a number of trophies after club legends like Jim Turnbull, Roland Scott, George Matthews and Percy Saunders. Tales of our wonderful former and sadly departed tea-lady Hilda Matthews, who had prepared first-class teas for over 50 years, are part of Kent Village cricket folklore. With a living legend in the form of Club President Martin Hallett, it now rests with the new crop of Stone CC legends in waiting to play a part in adding many more chapters to the proud legacy!

Stone CC Committee

Martin Hallet
Martin Hallet
President
What more can be said about this guy than hasn’t already been written. The true heartbeat of the club and a man who’s cricketing ability and achievements surpass anything that we could strive towards. His service goes well beyond 50 years and he remains a very active member of the club. His act is one of the features of a Stone CC presentation night with quizzes tougher than anything those Pointless chumps can produce.
Dave Bateley
Dave Bateley
Chairman
Stumpy has been a regular on the Kent village cricket circuit for many years and has played for Stone since 1993. With this knowledge and also his mantel of nothing is worth doing unless it is done very slowly, he was the perfect choice to step in the big shoes of Stone CC Chairman. There are rumours that even the pavilion might be named after him…
Jordan Garratt
Jordan Garratt
Captain
Now in command, having served as vice skipper for the past few years, and keen to lead from the front.
Billy Hawkes
Billy Hawkes
Vice Captain
For our new Vice captain, it’s all about the three Ms: Moretti, Millwall, and mullering oppo bowling to all four corners… unless there is a spectacular catch in the offing, in which case he holes out.
Paul Keenan
Paul Keenan
General Secretary
A player of no fixed ability, but plenty of commitment. Has also taken control of the scorebook with obsessive zeal.
Ryan Garratt
Ryan Garratt
Treasurer
This ginger haired assassin continues to move up the ranks and having a holiday or two to pay for this year means he has jump at the chance to take over as Treasurer. Bringing his digital edge to the role expect every penny to be hidden off shore and bit coin shares to hit the roof.
Matthew Blain
Matthew Blain
Fixture Secretary
He’s made no secret of wanting this position for many years and now he’s got it. Already throwing his weight around on the Social Media fixture secretary circles he pitches a good day out. Forget the cricket. What’s your tea facilities like?
Dan Brazil
Dan Brazil
Social Secretary
Richard Pusey
Richard Pusey
Committee Member
Showing his popularity in the club, Dicky has been welcomed onto the committee for this year. A cheery chap who is always smiling he brings some much needed happiness to the board and hopefully won’t let the power go to his head and effect his fine bowling attack.
Jordan Walkling
Jordan Walkling
Committee Member
The Walkie Talkie takes on a new responsibility for the club, joining the committee on a formal basis for the first time in 2021. Rumours abound that he will use this position to launch a renewed bid for a leadership role on match day – time will tell…
