And best of all our membership fees are very competitive and amongst the lowest in the area!
We are always looking to encourage and welcome players of all ages and abilities to our club and would love to hear from you if you are interested in joining.
OWCC was founded in 1962 when Kenwoods Manufacturing Company moved from Woking to Havant, leaving the ‘Remnants’ to play in Woking Park. The club quickly established itself in the local area. This was due to the enthusiasm and efforts of the members. The guiding hand through the club’s first 30 years existence was the late ‘Snowy’ Carter who sadly died in 1992. The clubhouse is dedicated to his memory.
Old Woking has leased its current ground since 1967 and thanks to the continuing dedication of members it provides some of the best cricketing facilities in the area. As Woking Remnants the club has won the Morrant Wey Valley Cricket League Second Division twice, in 1977 and 1985. The club changed its name to Old Woking at the end of the 1997 season. In 1998 the club came second in the First Division of the Morrant Wey Valley Cricket League and also won the knockout cup.
In 2002 the club became a member of the Surrey Downs League, where our 1st and 2nd XI teams lie in the First and Third Divisions respectively.
