Cricket in Ealing – Our Home Turf

Ealing is one of the strongest cricket boroughs in the country. Ealing Cricket Club on Corfton Road, founded in 1870, has won the Middlesex Premier League twelve times – most recently in 2024 – and runs one of the biggest junior programmes in Middlesex with over 600 colts across 17 junior teams, plus a women's side in the Middlesex Women's Cricket League. Beyond Corfton Road, league and community cricket fills Perivale Park, North Acton Playing Fields, Gunnersbury Park Sports Hub, the London Marathon Playing Fields in Greenford and Rectory Park every weekend of the season.

VKS has stood on Bond Street through all of it – a family-run shop since 1973 that has supplied boots to Imran Khan, wicket-keeping pads to MS Dhoni, and match boots delivered straight to Lord's for Ben Stokes. Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid have walked through the same door local colts do on a Saturday morning.
