After a busy winter of nets, junior training and pre-season fixtures, it’s been fantastic to see so many familiar faces back at the club, alongside plenty of new members joining the HBBHCC family. The effort from players, coaches, volunteers and supporters over the off-season has once again been great.

Pre-Season Update

Our senior sides have already had some valuable cricket under their belts during the pre-season programme, with encouraging performances across the club. The 1st XI kicked things off with a strong victory over The Covenant CC in April, chasing down 219 with three wickets to spare - a great early sign as preparations continued ahead of league action.

Across the junior section, training numbers have been excellent and it’s brilliant to see so many young players developing through our programme once again. With junior fixtures already beginning, there’s plenty to look forward to over the coming months.

Thank You To Our Sponsors

As always, we want to place on record our sincere thanks to the businesses that continue to support the club.

A huge thank you to our long-standing main club supporters Kingfisher Drinks, whose backing continues to play an important role in helping the club grow both on and off the field.

We are also delighted to welcome Denmaur as a new sponsor for the 2026 season. Denmaur will proudly support our junior section this year, with our new junior kit carrying their branding throughout the season. Partnerships like these make a massive difference to a community cricket club like ours, and we encourage all members and supporters to support the businesses that support HBBHCC.

Additionally thanks to our board sponsors namely: Tom Dix and Complete Carpet Cleaning Southeast
