The 1st XI are currently playing in Division 5 of the Morrant Thames Valley League with the 2nd and 3rd XIs playing in lower divisions. The league season runs from May to early September. In addition, the 4th XI play non-league matches against local sides, where we look to introduce Colts into senior cricket.
On Sunday the club plays in the Bushy Park League against local clubs and put out a friendly side when not involved in competition.
The club's long-standing tour to Somerset in early August will be held in 2013. The club also hosts Middlesex u13 and u17 colts' club finals at Queen's Road on the August Bank Holiday Monday.
