Your winter nets commence on Saturday, January 13th 2024. They are based once again at Wimbledon College Sports Hall in our usual time slot of 10am until 12pm. The booking of places will be done via the Spond app, so make sure you've downloaded it! Places are like hot cakes and sessions will be uploaded on a weekly basis, so get in quick when the spaces become available.

2023 members train for free; all others will pay £5 per session or £3 for under 16’s. James Prebble has kindly agreed to once more be the winter nets Overlord, and will be accepting payments from non-members - he will communicate his details to those who need them in due course. Please arrive from 9:45am to help with setting up.

27 is the current capped number of spaces - any more, and it becomes unworkable - which works out at nine players per net during the two hours. If you book a space but have to withdraw, please amend your situation on Spond as there is a waiting list.

5th XI

After a full season of friendlies in 2023, which included handing out some whoopings to teams that didn't fancy a return fixture, our Saturday 5th XI will take their place in the AJ Sports Surrey Championship Division Six Central in 2024. Their first game is on May 11th away to Malden Wanderers, and their final fixture will be a home game against Bank of England. We will be one of the handful of clubs in Surrey to be fielding five or more teams on a Saturday - a sign of how much we have prospered as a club over the last few seasons. Home games will be played at the club's spiritual home of Nursery Road Playing Fields, a stone's throw from the clubhouse (10-minute walk). Records indicate it is the ground where the club played its first games in 1890!
