Streatham & Marlborough Cricket Club
Streatham & Marlborough Cricket Club is based between Forest Hill and Dulwich, in south-east London.
We run cricket all year round for roughly 400 boys and girls of all ages and ability levels. In 2026, our junior section grew to a new record size: with 272 boys and 111 girls (30% of players). We also have one of the largest men's and women's sections in the country.
We aim to be the most fun cricket club for miles around. Players and parents who have tried other clubs often tell us they love the relaxed, friendly and sociable feel of our club, and the high quality of our coaching- see the results of our 2024 Junior Member Survey.
We recommend new parents begin by reviewing the Summary of cricket offered which explains how to get started at the club.
SMCC formed in 2003 through the merger of Streatham CC (1805) and Marlborough CC (1870).

Leaders in girls' and women's cricket
We play five times more women and girls' matches than the average club in the region with a girls' or women's section (based on 2022 Surrey Cricket Foundation figures).
With approximately 170 female players across junior and seniors sections in 2026, female players make up 30% of our playing membership - on par with only two other clubs in the Surrey region. Surrey has three times more girls' teams than the next best county, so as leaders within Surrey, we are also leaders nationally.
In 2026, we ran the following squads for girls:
Mixed Under 7s (school year 2) soft ball
Girls Under 8-9s (school years 3-4) soft ball
Girls Under 10-11s (school year 5-6) - hard ball
Girls Under 12-13s (school year 7-8) - hard ball
Girls Under 14-15s (school years 8-10) - hard ball
Mixed Dev Squad 16-21 years old (school years 11-13 and older) - hard ball
2x Women's teams (girls can potentially play from school year 8+) - hard ball
We have all-female training for the girls' and women's squads from school year 3 and up.
Around 15% of our girls also play in county or district cricket.
Our Women's team won the inaugural Surrey Slam T20 competition in 2019. Our Women's 1st XI have been promoted twice in the last 4 years. Our Women's 2nd XI was promoted in 2022 at the end of their first season, and then again at the end of 2025.

Our coaching partners, 360 Cricket
Our coaching is led by professional cricket coaches from 360 Cricket. Coaches and support coaches are all ECB accredited and DBS checked. Training sessions are lots of fun and we’ll help players learn the full range of cricket skills, even in our youngest age-groups. We'll have them playing full-on cricket within a term.
On summer training nights we have the bar open and usually have food trucks on Mondays and Fridays, and a planned Tuesday night parent-led BBQ for 2027, making training as enjoyable for the parents and siblings as it is for the players, and we run holiday camps.
We also have indoor cricket in the Autumn term and Spring term.
Indoor training led by the fantastic 360 Cricket, who ensure every session is fun, varied and engaging.
