Kew Cricket Club plays matches on Kew Green in Kew, which is now in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The club was formed in 1882 following the amalgamation of two local clubs, Kew Oxford Cricket Club and Kew Cambridge Cricket Club, but cricket had been played on Kew Green for many years before this.〔 In August 1732, the ''Whitehall Evening Post'' reported that Frederick, Prince of Wales attended "a great cricket match" at Kew on Thursday 27 July. A report in The ''London Evening Post'' dated 16 July 1737 refers to a match between a Prince of Wales XI and The Duke of Marlborough XI. Today's Kew Cricket Club has four Saturday League teams, a Sunday League team and a Sunday friendly team. Kew Cricket Club operates a thriving Colts section, fielding league teams at the U17, U15, U13 and U11 levels. The current 1st XI team plays in Division 1 of the Thames Valley Cricket League. The 1st and 2nd XI teams play their cricket matches at Kew Cricket Club Ground on Kew Green, and the 3rd and 4th XIs play at St Mary's University's grounds in Teddington. A charity cricket match takes place annually, each May bank holiday.
