Results
Our club policy is to aim to play a "competitive" team in every match, meaning that the team has a fair chance of winning if they play well, while having as much rotation of players as we can. We aim to provide all players with a good number of matches at a suitable level of challenge for them - so in addition to cup and league matches, we aim to play plenty of friendlies (which can be at a higher or lower level than league matches) and internal games which enable us to give as many players as possible with match time.

2024 highlights
245 boys and 91 girls played cricket at SMCC in the summer of 2024. Across 16 squads, we played 232 junior matches, with adverse weather being the likely reason for this number being slightly lower than the previous year.
Based on figures shared by Surrey Cricket Foundation for the 2022 season, we believe we play more than twice as many junior games per player than the average Surrey club.
Across all squads, our teams won and lost roughly the same number of league games, again with all squads playing at the highest level in our history - mostly in the middle tier of the Surrey or Kent leagues, and three squads entered into the upper tier.
Once again, many of our juniors played in senior cricket - 8 girls and 16 boys.
36 of our junior players (14 girls and 22 boys) played in county or district performance squads with Surrey, Kent or Middlesex Schools. That is an amazing 11% of our members - up from 8% 2023 and 5% in 2022.
Let's keep up the great work in 2025.
How can I check results?
Each age-group has a WhatsApp group for parents, and results (and sometimes live over by over commentary, if the match is an exciting one) are normally posted there first.
For league matches, you can also check scorecards and player statistics by going to the Streatham & Marlborough area on the Play Cricket website.
