The Forty Club (this article dated 25
April 2005)
When
Henry Grierson established the Forty Club in 1936 it was to be a crusade
– high-class players were to be an example to youth both in standards
of play and general behaviour. Nowadays the values are much the same,
so if you are over 40, or nearly so, and looking for good class competitive
non-league cricket, mostly against schools, then give The Forty Club
a serious cricketing thought. With 3300 members, an annual UK fixtures
card of some 145 schools matches plus a further 70 youth and club matches;
with sister clubs in Holland and Denmark which compete in an annual
international tournament; with annual autumn tours (South Africa 2004,
Australia 2006) and annual spring tours (Malta 2005, UAE in 2004); and
all this plus an annual domestic tournament, there’s lots to attract
the experienced club cricketer.
