Fenner's Cricket Ground
For over one hundred years Fenner’s, the University Cricket Ground, has hosted first class cricket. Throughout this time many of the worlds great players have graced the wicket with their skills to the delight of spectators and players alike.
Playing for Cambridge University has launched many an illustrious career. Such household names as Peter May, Lord David Sheppard, Ted Dexter, and Mike Brearley to Majod Jahangir Khan, Derek Pringle, John Crawley, Steve James and our most recent England captain Mike Atherton, represent only a few of the long list of distinguished internationals who have played and developed their skills at Fenner’s.
Today Fenner’s continues that tradition, albeit in a new era and a more professional game. Fenner’s is home to the MCC Cambridge Centre of Cricketing Excellence, a partnership between the University of Cambridge, Anglia Ruskin University and the MCC.
The ground still remains the home of Cambridge University Cricket Club, but now also embraces a number of other clubs and representative teams as it increasingly becomes the focus of cricket development, not only within universities, but in the community. The Cambridgeshire County Club and the Cambridge and Cambridgeshire Schools play matches and Championship finals at Fenner’s; the Cambridgeshire Cricket Board hold courses at Fenner’s and it is the home of Cambridge University Women’s Cricket Club.
