Frequently asked questions
Do I have to be gay to play for Graces?
Of course you don’t! – We welcome players whatever their sexuality. We have had many straight players who just enjoy playing the game and the relaxed atmosphere in the club.
Is it only for men?
No – We are an all inclusive club!
Where and when do we play?
Is there training?
We have pre-season nets at Lord’s – pandemic permitting!
How long do the games last?
Our usual format is 40 overs – a normal 2pm start will usually finish by 7pm with a tea break of course!
The league games are a slightly longer format.
We also have some T20 matches (check the fixtures page) which are much quicker.
Do I need to be an experienced player?

Do I need my own equipment?
Feel free to bring your own – we have bats , pads and everything required if you don’t have these. You will need your own cricket clothing.

We have regular social events (during and out of season) including film nights , dinners and general get togethers. Check the website for the next one.
