Mission Statement
Boxmoor Cricket Club (BCC) aims to provide safe, fair and enjoyable cricket for its members, young and old. The club hopes to provide an environment fit for the local community, in which players and social members can develop their cricketing skills, knowledge and friendships.
Introduction
BCC is an established village club in the town of Hemel Hempstead. In 2017 the club celebrated its 160th anniversary, having played all of its cricket at its current ground “The Oval”, St Johns Road, Boxmoor.
Current Status of BCC
As of 2025, the club currently has an adult playing membership sustaining 3 teams in the Saracens Hertfordshire Cricket League on Saturdays and an as-available 4th team for friendlies. There are two teams on Sundays, one in the Chess Valley League and the other an ad-hoc “Developmental” team consisting mainly of older juniors who play friendlies.
BCC has its own, purpose built, brick pavilion which includes a lounge and bar, kitchen, two changing rooms, two sets of showers, several storage rooms, scorebox and an external garage for the storage of mowers, rollers, sight screens etc.
The club currently sublets the pavilion to the Gade Valley Harriers Running club and is hired out occasionally for private functions such as birthday, christening parties etc. BCC also has a growing number of social members that use the pavilion during the regular cricket season.
The club, a not for profit organisation, aims to break even financially, on an annual turnover of approximately £35,000, which makes extending the facilities difficult. Much maintenance work in the pavilion is undertaken by club members, with other costs for the upkeep of the grounds covered by that income.
Goals
The club is committed to the following goals to aid its sustainability and progression. They are grouped by section.
Senior Participation
Participation of senior players is the primary purpose of the club, introducing people to, and facilitating them to play cricket.

Junior Participation
Maintaining a healthy and thriving junior section will provide senior players for the club. Even those who move out of the area will hopefully keep playing the game and benefit cricket as a whole.
