Club History
There are historical records of a Bank of England Cricket Club (BOECC) dating back to 1867, but fixtures were infrequent and the club
loosely formalised. The modern founding of the club occurred in 1908 with the formation of the Bank of England Sports Club in
Roehampton, South West London.
The club played friendly cricket from 1908 through to 1970, with the superb facilities attracting fine opposition from both near and
far. Four Saturday teams and multiple Sunday sides were fielded, with club records being set that still stand to this day; B.A Smith’s
145 wickets in 1942, Peter Feldwick’s 10-46 in 1946, Ralph Smith’s 193 not out in 1947, plus John Hopwood’s 2055 runs in 1948.
Our league adventures began in 1971 with the formation of the Surrey Cricketers League, and the addition of a 2 nd XI league in 1972.
We did not win any silverware but were fundamental to the continued organisation of the league, with our own Barry Hoffmann
eventually becoming its Chairman. In 1987 the Surrey Cricketers League merged with the Surrey Championship (originally formed in
1968), which is where we have played ever since.
Playing availability was excellent throughout this period, and for several years the club were able to field five Saturday teams. This
helped the 1st XI to our first promotion from Division 2 in 1989, as we took a seat at the top table of Surrey cricket for the first time.
The feat was repeated in 1993, this time unbeaten, eventually leading to our highest ever finish of 4 th in Division 1 in 1999. At the time
this made us the fourth best team in all of Surrey – not bad for a bunch of bankers! It also earned qualification for the first ever season
of the newly formed Premier League in 2000.
This proved to be a short-lived experience as relegation swiftly followed, but in 2001 we were again promoted for another crack at
the Premier League in 2002. Again, relegation beckoned, and this remains our last season in the top division to date. A period of
rebuilding followed as we yo-yoed between the divisions, mostly downwards, and by 2009 were in Division 3. The success of the junior
section helped stabilise the club hereafter, and in 2015 took a step back in the right direction with promotion into Division 2, where
we have remained since.
Curiously, despite five promotion campaigns the club is yet to win a 1 st XI league title. Fortunately, the same cannot be said for our
other sides, with the 2nd XI winning Division 1 in 2002 (plus two other promotion seasons), and the 3rd XI also winning their respective
Division 2 in 1990. The Midweek XI has found success by winning the London Banks Cup in 1990 and 1994, whilst in recent years the
Public Services T20 Tournament has been claimed on six different occasions, most recently in 2019.
As a club we are not all about winning, with a fine tradition of socialising on numerous club tours, including major trips abroad to
Barbados (1982), Australia (1988), New Zealand (1993) and South Africa (2003). An annual tour to Sussex ran for almost 60 years
between 1921-1979, and to this day we still arrange annual trips to Kent (since 1923) and Buckinghamshire (since 1986).

first proper season of 3s league cricket since 1996, and over
time it will really help to bridge the gap between 2nd XI and 3rd

Junior Chairman’s Message
The u10 (Year 5) age group sees the introduction of the hard
cricket ball, with numbers increasing to either 8 or 10 per team.
The cup competitions also begin at this age group, so our young
players can enjoy the added excitement of knock out play. The
u11s (Year 6) also play with the same rules.
At u12 (Year 7) it becomes proper “out when you’re out” cricket
with the full 11 players per side. I’d like to say this is the format
that will serve them well for the rest of their cricketing careers,
but who knows what inventions will be around the corner?!
At the u13 (Year 8) and u14 (Year 9) age groups players continue
their development. We begin to look at identifying individuals
who are ready to also play senior cricket through our player
pathway, with our Saturday 4th XI and Sunday XI both ideal
starting points. Both sides play friendly cricket, which helps to

182nd XI Team Profile
Team Information:
The 2s play high level competitive cricket within the AJ Fordham
Surrey Championship.
The 2s have been in Division 2 since 2016, with the most recent
“normal” (i.e. pre-pandemic) season in 2019 resulting in a
miraculous escape from relegation, winning the final two games
to stay up in 8th place. In 2020 the team participated in the one-
off Challenge Cup (as the regular season was cancelled by the
covid pandemic).
Aaron Crane captains the side for a second season in a bid to
return to Division 1 for the first time since 2015.

of the year are the annual fixture against the Veterans XI on
Presidents Day, plus the yearly tour to Buckinghamshire over the
