Cobham CC, Kent

 

Cobham welcomes you

Cobham Cricket Club in the county of Kent can justifiably claim to be the original home of "The Ashes".

Cobham Cricket Club was founded in 1850. The first game was played in Cobham Park between Cobham Hall Estate and Cobham Village on the 7th August 1850. Cobham Hall won by 163 runs.

In 1883 the then Captain of Cobham, the Hon. Ivo Bligh, later to become the Eigth Earl of Darnley, also captained England's touring side in Australia. During this tour Florence Morphy (later Lady Darnley) and some other Victorian ladies, burnt a bail and presented the ashes in an urn to Ivo Bligh. "The Ashes" in the now famous urn remained at Cobham Hall until 1926 when they were presented to the MCC at Lord's.

Cobham cricket continued to be played in Cobham Park until the outbreak of war in 1939, when the government required the land to be ploughed. The present ground opened in 1947.

Cobham Cricket Club now play in the heart of the village behind the Primary School and welcome new members of all ages to join this club as players, supporters or simply to come and enjoy the surroundings, whilst watching this great game we call Cricket
