Welcome to The Old Georgians Website

The aim of the Old Georgians' Cricket Club is to provide keen, enjoyable and positive cricket against our friendly rivals on the most attractive St George's ground, on which we are privileged to play.

Old Georgian Cricket in its present form dates from 1946

There had been an Old Georgian Cricket Club from 1875 but this did not survive the School's move from Croydon to Weybridge in 1884.

Apart from the period of the First World War matches have been played against St George's each year. Raymond Bird, the Sports' secretary for many years, was indefatigable in raising teams and scored the first recorded century for the Old Georgian team.

John Wilson organised the matches for five successful years until 1957 when Brian O'Gorman took over the responsibility, with a break from 1993 until 2001, during which time Simon Henderson and Andrew Robson were Secretaries.

The Old Georgians are twice winners of the "Cricket World" Cup and now take part in the Cricketer Trophy.

First Class Cricketers from St George's : Adam Hollioake ( England and Surrey), Tim O'Gorman (Derbyshire) and Matt Church (Worcestershire) have played for the Club as opportunity has allowed.

All Welcome

All OG cricketers are welcome to play in the matches which offer good play and companionship.

Many Cricketers, from a wide range of Schools have expressed their appreciation of Old Boys Cricket.

A letter, receivedby the Secretary, puts the case succinctly: "I enjoy every moment of the cricket Week, the camaraderie, the atmosphere, the Cricket.''

And another wrote: "Old Boys Cricket played in the true spirit is a wonderful pastime. The friendships last a lifetime."
