TOWER RAVENS CRICKET CLUB

Tower Ravens Cricket Club ~ A Brief History  

Tower Ravens Cricket Club was formed in 1993 by a group of university friends based in Wapping, East London. With no home ground the Ravens started as a wandering side, playing Sunday friendlies arranged through the Club Cricket Confernece against teams of a similar standard from across the London area.

The Ravens first match took place on Sunday 8th May 1994 with a trip to Raye's Park to play Capricorn C.C. - a match in which the Ravens started with 10 players and ended with a 120 run defeat. 

During the first few seasons results (and player numbers!!!) varied, with the Ravens relying heavily upon its strong pace attack for success...and its long batting tail for failure.

However, with results and player numbers improving, the Ravens started the new Millennium by hiring its first home ground at South Park, Parson Green and by entering the Victoria Park Midweek Community Cricket League in 2001.

This proved to be a successful venture, with the Ravens achieving promotion in their debut League season, reaching the League Cup final and attractive several new players who joined the club as a direct result of our invovlement in the League.

The club achieved its greatest success in 2004 by winning the Victoria Park League Championship and followed this success in 2005 by winning the Divison Two Title.
