Cricket

We have a thriving Cricket sporting calendar at Old Owen’s Association and Sports Club Limited (Old Owens Sports Ground, Coopers Lane, Northaw, Potters Bar, EN6 4NF).

The facilities for Cricket at the Old Owen’s Sports Ground consist of 2 cricket squares which are meticulously looked after by our groundsman and both are covered in adverse weather conditions. Facilities also include changing rooms newly refurbished in 2017 and a fantastic Clubhouse equipped with Bar, Lounges, TV’s and a Function Room.

The Old Owen’s Cricket Club have 3 Saturday XI’s that will play in the Saracens Herts League (www.hertsleague.co.uk) for Season 2025 in the Championship, Div 5A and Div 11 East respectively. For Season 2025 there will be a Saturday 4th XI and a Sunday XI that will both play Friendly matches and a Junior Section for U9, U11 and U14 playing in the Herts Junior League midweek or on a Sunday.

Other Community Cricket Clubs hire pitches when Old Owens Teams are not in residence.

The 2024 Season in the Saracens Herts League ended with the 1st XI relegated to the Championship. The 2nd XI finished mid table in Division 5A and the 3rd XI consolidated their position in DIvision 10C after being promoted to the Division the previous season. The 3rd XI was aided by the presence of 2 different Junior players playing each week in the Team. The regional Divisions that included the 3rd XI have been reorganised and as a result the 3rd XI will play in Division 11 East in season 2025. 

The League season starts at the beginning of May and finishes in early September for all teams. League fixtures consist of both limited overs and timed matches depending on the Division.

Old Owens Cricket Club embarked on a Tour to St. Lucia in February 2024  to celebrate their 100 year anniversary.
