Leaders in girls' and women's cricket
The Surrey region has three times as many girls' teams as the next best county. As leaders within the Surrey region, we are also leaders nationally.
The average club in the Surrey region with a girls’ or women’s section played just 27 matches in 2022. We played over 120.
Female players made up30% of our playing membership - on par with only two other clubs in the Surrey region.
Our girls' section has grown from 5 girls in 2016 to 110 girls in the summer of 2025. We have healthy numbers in all school years from Reception through to teenagers who are now becoming regular players in senior women's cricket. We have approximately 150 female players at the club in 2025, across both junior and senior sectins.
We have all-female training for the girls' and women's squads (other than Girls U8-9s indoor sessions which are mixed with 30% of spaces reserved for girls).

Many of our older teens play in Women's cricket. We have two teams this year:
Women's 1st XI - Surrey Women's Cricket League Premier Division
Women's 2nd XI - Surrey Womens' Cricket League Division 1
We are aiming to start a third women's team in the near future.
One of the largest and strongest women's sections in south London
SMCC Women formed in 2009.
Girls are eligible to play in senior women's cricket from school year 8 and up, or school year 7 if a county player.
In 2025 our women's squad is 40+ players, and we are running two women's league teams. We are aiming to run a third women's team in the near future.
In 2019, our women's squad won the inaugural Surrey Slam T20 tournament. In 2023 our Womens 1st XI finished 2rd in the Premier Division of the Surrey Women's Cricket League, and our Women's 2nd XI finished 5th in Division 1, staying up after gaining promotion in 2022.
For further details, see the Women's Cricket section on our main website.
The club's Executive Committee includes three members from the SMCC Women and we're proud to be one of a tiny number of clubs in the country to be led by a Chairwoman.

Training
We offer training year round for all ages.
Based on feedback from players and parents, we now have dedicated all-female sessions for girls' squads. See Autumn & Spring indoor training and Summer season training for details.
The creation of dedicated all-girls training sessions has resulted in much higher numbers of girls attending indoor training in all age-groups (around 70%), so we intend to continue doing so in future years.
Representative cricket
We will continue to work with Surrey, Kent and other representative cricket organisations to give our girls every opportunity to play representative cricket.
In 2024, we had 14 girls in Surrey and Kent district or county performance squads, from Under 10s to Under 16s.
