Roffey Cricket Club is a cricket club based in the Roffey, part of the town of Horsham in West Sussex, England. Founded in 1904, the club's first XI plays in the Premier League of the Sussex Cricket League[1] which is an accredited ECB Premier League, the highest level of recreational club cricket in England and Wales. The First XI has won the Sussex Premier League for the last two cricket seasons (2015–16).
History
The first known cricket match arranged under the name of Roffey was played in May 1901 against Barns Green. Occasional matches were held during the next three years until Roffey Cricket Club was formed in 1904. The inaugural meeting was held in the Norfolk Arms public house in Roffey, chaired by W. Barnham. In 1932 the cricket field was left in trust to the people of Roffey in the memory of Colonel Innes and the ground officially became the Innes Memorial Ground.
In the mid 1970s Roffey joined the Arun Valley League, which the club went on to win five times before leaving in 1996 to participate in the Sussex Invitation League. In 2001, Roffey were invited to join the Sussex Cricket League.[2]
