We are thrilled to announce a unique opportunity for companies across London to step onto the hallowed turf of The Kia Oval, as the Surrey Cricket Foundation proudly presents “Backyard Cricket at The Kia Oval.” This exclusive corporate cricket tournament is designed to be a fantastic day out, all while raising vital funds for our community cricket initiatives.
Set against the iconic backdrop of one of the world’s most famous cricket grounds, this event promises exhilarating fun, friendly competition, and unparalleled networking. Participating teams will go head-to-head in a relaxed, “backyard cricket” style tournament, making it perfect for all skill levels – from seasoned players to complete novices.
Beyond the thrill of playing on the same pitch as cricketing legends, your teams will be treated to a comprehensive experience, including a delicious breakfast and lunch, with a bar available throughout the day. This provides an ideal setting for your corporate team to bond, unwind, and foster connections with other businesses in a dynamic environment.
“We are incredibly excited to open the doors of The Kia Oval to the corporate community for this special event,” says Brad Jones, Fundraising Officer. “Backyard Cricket at The Kia Oval offers a fantastic blend of team building, unforgettable experiences, and the chance to contribute directly to the grassroots development of cricket across Surrey and South London. Every team’s participation will help us continue our vital work in making cricket accessible and inclusive for all.”
The Surrey Cricket Foundation plays a crucial role in supporting and growing recreational cricket. From encouraging youth participation through programs like All Stars and Dynamos, to developing women’s and girls’ cricket, and promoting inclusivity through disability cricket initiatives, our work impacts thousands of lives. Funds raised from “Backyard Cricket at The Kia Oval” will directly fuel these impactful programmes, helping us to nurture the next generation of cricketers and strengthen communities through the power of sport.
