We are lucky to have a wealth of cricketing facilities in our local area that our juniors can use, including:
King George’s field is the club’s main ground and is the location of the Club House. It is located next to Sonning C of E Primary school.

Reading Blue Coat School has a number of different facilities that the club has access to. The cricket nets and main cricket pitch, in front of the Pavilion, will be used for some of our Friday evening training. We hold our U7s Sunday morning coaching sessions in the lower grounds to the right of the drive, as well as some of our junior matches on the astro-turf pitch in the lower grounds. We also use the astro-turf pitch in the field across the road next to Ali's Pond for some of our junior games.
