New SIS Grass Hybrid Pitch Installed at Hesketh Park

We’re thrilled to announce the installation of the SIS grass hybrid brand-new pitch at Hesketh Park — a fantastic upgrade that will benefit players of all levels for years to come.

This amazing addition has been made possible thanks to a generous bequest from former club secretary, prolific Kent League batsman, 1XI Captain and club stalwart Paul Stanford. Paul’s passion for cricket and his commitment to the club live on through this lasting legacy, and we are deeply grateful for the support of the Stanfords.

Grounds co-ordinator Neil Wilson commented – “The club will be forever indebted to Paul for providing the funding for this exciting extension to our facilities, which will further enhance the playing opportunities for club members of all ages. As one of few clubs to offer the facility in the Kent League, we’re very excited to see the potential of the wicket unfold over the coming season”.

Here’s to a new chapter at Dartford CC —and a pitch worthy of the passion we bring to every match.
