WELCOME TO GOLDEN HILL CRICKET CLUB
a friendly and welcoming club nestled just three miles north of Bristol city centre, surrounded by a charming residential area that provides an ideal setting for both recreational and competitive cricket. The club prides itself on fostering an inclusive environment where players of all ages and abilities can enjoy the game. Whether you're a seasoned cricketer or a newcomer eager to learn the basics, the club's open-door policy ensures everyone feels at home. Regular training sessions, social events and friendly matches create a vibrant atmosphere where camaraderie thrives alongside sportspersonship.
Men's Cricket
At our club, the diversity of talent and experience creates a vibrant tapestry that enriches our community.
From the super-talented youngsters who bring energy and enthusiasm, to the wily old foxes whose wisdom and strategic insight guide our game, where every player assumes a vital role. The enthusiastic but somewhat inexperienced newcomers add a touch of innocence and eagerness, while those who have been 'press-ganged' into occasional participation often surprise us with their latent skills and passion for the sport. Meanwhile, our dedicated club stalwarts provide a sense of continuity and stability, ensuring that the traditions of the game and the club are upheld and celebrated.
​
What truly sets us apart is the inclusive environment we foster. There's a place for everyone here, whether you're a seasoned pro or just taking your first steps into the world of cricket. Our wonderful cricket teas, served with care and camaraderie, are a highlight that brings everyone together, offering a chance to bond over shared experiences and delicious treats. With great facilities that cater to all levels of play, the club ensures that each member feels valued and supported. It is this welcoming atmosphere, which not only cultivates talent but also strengthens friendships, that makes our community truly special. Here, cricket becomes more than just a game, it transforms into a shared journey where every player, regardless of background or skill level, finds their niche and feels at home.
Women's Cricket
Golden Hill Cricket Club prides itself on fostering a welcoming and social atmosphere within its women's section. We believe that cricket should be an enjoyable and inclusive experience for everyone, which is why we extend a warm invitation to new players aged sixteen and above, regardless of current skill level. Whether you're a complete beginner wanting to learn the game or a seasoned veteran looking for a fun, dynamic and competitive team to join, you'll find a place at Golden Hill where community and friendship thrive.
​
​
Our women's section is not only about participation; we have ambitious goals and a vision to establish ourselves as one of the top women's cricket sides in the South-West. With a robust girls' set-up actively feeding talent into the women's side, we are excited about the prospects of nurturing and developing talented players who can contribute to our success on the pitch. The combination of friendly competition, skill development and community spirit makes Golden Hill Cricket Club a fantastic choice for anyone looking to engage in women's cricket while building lasting friendships.
Boys' Cricket
We take immense pride in our boys' set-up, a thriving part of the club that consistently garners interest from budding young athletes eager to join our ranks. The high demand for spots in our teams is evident, as we often find ourselves operating with a waiting list, a testament to the reputation we've built within the community. Parents and players alike recognise that our set-up not only fosters skill development but also places great emphasis on teamwork, discipline and sportspersonship.
​
To ensure we can provide opportunities to as many young players as possible, we have implemented a structured approach, running at least two squads at each age group. This allows us to cultivate talent and provide a platform for growth at varying levels. Notably, our U11 age group features four dedicated squads, which lets us maximise participation and ensure that every young player receives the attention and training they deserve. Our focus remains on nurturing individual potential while building a strong foundation for future success in the sport. By fostering an inclusive environment, we aim to develop not just skilled cricketers, but cricketers with a lifelong love for the game.

Girls' Cricket
Introducing girls to cricket from Year 3 fosters a love for the sport early on. By incorporating softball cricket and kwik cricket games, we create a welcoming environment where young girls can learn the fundamentals of cricket while engaging in fun and interactive exercises. This approach not only helps develop their skills but also promotes teamwork and friendship among peers, laying the foundation for a lifelong passion for the game.
​
One of the standout features of our girls' set-up is that every girl will have the opportunity to participate, regardless of experience. We believe that cricket should be accessible to all and there are no strict kit requirements in place at our club. This inclusive policy ensures that every participant feels empowered to join in on the fun without the pressure of needing special equipment. Our focus is on enjoyment and personal development, allowing girls to explore the joy of cricket in a relaxed and supportive environment.
​
We are committed to nurturing talent from Year 3 through to women's cricket, ensuring a continuous journey for our players. By providing a structured pathway, we not only encourage skill advancement but also facilitate friendships and personal growth along the way. We aim to instil confidence and resilience in young girls, equipping them with not just cricket skills, but valuable life lessons that extend far beyond the pitch. Ultimately, we want every girl to develop fantastic memories and a love for cricket that will last a lifetime.
