Established in 1880, Winchmore Hill Sports Club has been a bastion of the local community for almost 140 years...
Based at The Paulin Ground in north London, we are one of the largest playing clubs in the country, located on extensive grounds in the heart of Winchmore Hill...
In 1880 the Busk family owned the land in Winchmore Hill known as Ford's Grove. Their head gardener, John Moore, asked Mr. Busk for permission to play cricket in the grounds and Winchmore Hill Cricket Club was formed. The first reported match of the Winchmore Hill Village Cricket club was against North End Finchley, played at the ground to be known as Ford's Grove, on 21 May 1881.
