One of the most historic clubs in Kent with a beautiful ground, Beckenham Cricket Club welcomes players from Premier League standard to those who just want a friendly Sunday game. We run six League sides on Saturdays and two Friendly sides on Sundays, both with attractive fixture lists. Foxgrove Road, Beckenham is a sports ground in Beckenham in the London Borough of Bromley. The ground is home to Beckenham Cricket Club, a multi-sports club, and has been used as a first-class cricket venue and hosted the Kent Championships, a tennis tournament held annually in the run-up to the Wimbledon Championships. It was also the ground used for the University Hockey Match between Oxford and Cambridge universities. The ground remains in use for cricket and tennis as well as for football, netball and squash and acting as a base for road running. The ground was part of Foxgrove Farm and was established by Beckenham Cricket Club in 1866. It is on Foxgrove Road, around 500 metres (0.31 mi) north-east of Beckenham town centre. The A2015 road is 200 metres (0.12 mi) to the west of the ground. Foxgrove Road was used by Kent County Cricket Club for 14 first-class cricket matches between 1886 and 1905.[4] Beckenham was part of Kent until 1965 and Kent used a number of grounds in what it describes as "Metropolitan Kent".[ The club maintains a current base at the Kent County Cricket Ground, Beckenham 0.5 miles (0.80 km) from Foxgrove Road. The first first-class match at the ground was in July 1886 against Surrey, who were Kent's most frequent opponents at the ground.After a Players of the South v Players of the North fixture in 1887, Kent used the ground for a single match in most years until 1905 when Surrey were again their opponents.The touring South Africans played Kent at the ground in 1901 and a match against the Gentlemen of Philadelphia was held in 1903. A number of low scores were recorded on the ground with ten all out totals of under 100.
