Making History on the Village Green: Tilford Ladies Win League in Debut Season

As proud sponsors of Tilford Cricket Club in Surrey, we're absolutely thrilled to celebrate a historic achievement from the club this summer – the newly-formed Tilford Ladies team have won the Tier 2 Smash It West League in their very first season.

From First Session to Champions

When the ladies held their inaugural coaching session back in March, the room was buzzing with energy, laughter and sporting talent. But winning the league? That exceeded everyone's expectations.

The team's journey from complete beginners to league champions is a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together with enthusiasm and dedication – values we hold dear as a family business ourselves.

A True Team Effort

Success like this doesn't happen by accident. Behind every boundary and wicket taken lie countless hours of practice, commitment from coach Mark "Buss" Bussell, and the unwavering support of families who spent their evenings helping in the nets and their weekends cheering from the boundary.

It's this spirit of community that makes village cricket so special, and why we're proud to support Tilford CC – based just half a mile from our nursery on what is reputed to be the second oldest village cricket ground in the country.

Just the Beginning

This remarkable debut season marks only the start of women's cricket at Tilford Cricket Club. If you or your daughters feel inspired to pick up a bat and ball, the club would love to welcome new players to training in 2026.

Congratulations to every member of the squad – you've made history on the village green.
