Cricket runs through Southall. Ealing Council's own assessment of the borough's cricket counts community cricket at Spikes Bridge Park with the London Tigers programme, open-access non-turf pitches at Southall Recreation Ground, cage cricket in Southall Park, and a fast-growing number of teams playing in London and West London South Asian leagues across the Southall and Harrow areas – alongside established clubs like Osterley CC on Tentelow Lane and community sides such as Kay Plus CC and Ramgarhia CC.
And that's before you count the tape ball games that fill the parks every summer evening. VKS is one of the few London shops with a proper tape ball and tennis ball bat range in stock to handle and compare – not just hard ball gear.
