Don't get too excited! We don't get to play on the
hallowed turf where England have clinched many a historic test series but in the indoor nets at the KEN
BARRINGTON CRICKET SCHOOL. The wickets here are fast and bouncy, not very similar to the conditions we'll
face in early May but excellent never-the-less! Best to make sure we're bowling off 22 yards! |

Directions |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The walk from the station takes about 5 minutes from Oval station and 20 minutes from Vauxhall station. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From Oval Station: Turn left from Oval tube and go through the large gates (Hobbs Gate). Turn left and follow the ground round until
the club shop, then head inside and go downstairs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From Vauxhall Station: Exit Vauxhall Station and head down the Harleyford Rd. Sometimes you can enter the ground at
the Sir Alec Steward Gate but often you need to keep going round to the Hobbs Gate. |

The Varghese Cake Rating is the official
rating system for cricket teas. Further details can be found

Shockingly the Oval do not supply us tea. For now.
This means the rating is "Oliver Twist" |

We normally go to the
Beehive.
It has a beer garden, tv screeens and is close to the ground on the way to Vauxhall station so does ok. |
