Leatherhead
CRICKET CLUB
Leatherhead CC is based at Fetcham Grove in Surrey and their first
team currently competes in the Surrey Championship. They are led
by the team of President Peter Kearns and Chair Ian Dyson and the
club is looking to progress under their guidance.
So far this season they have put together a steady
league campaign, compiling a record of four wins, three
draws and two defeats from nine games. This sees them
sitting in a mid-table position with 111 points on the
board.
This should provide them with a solid platform from
which to go on and have a successful campaign. As long
as they are able to retain their current group of players
and can perhaps make one or two quality additions they
will be in with a good chance of pushing on up the league.
Leatherhead is not a club to focus solely upon their
senior section and this is reflected by the fact that they also
have a thriving youth set up. This part of the club looks
to provide young players from the local community with

the opportunity to play the game in a safe and enjoyable
environment whilst helping them to reach their full
potential.
It is important for any club looking to be successful
over a sustained period of time to be able to produce
their own talent, particularly in the current financial
climate and this is an area they appear to have covered.
It will certainly be exciting to see how their youngsters
can progress over the coming years.
In order to help make sure that their young players
enjoy a smooth transition into the senior game they also
run additional sides. This allows them to gain experience
of adult level cricket even if they are not yet considered
