What is the Knockers?
Knockers is a Sunday Cricket side based in Sevenoaks in Kent,
England.
Where do we play?
Knockers CC does not have a home ground and so plays at away grounds
every Sunday during the Summer. Our home has changed over the past few years but always remains a pub in the Sevenoaks area. For many a year through the 90's it was the Royal Oak Tap (picture below) which was closed in the early years of this millenium to become a private house. From there we ventured to the Farmer's next to the train station until this too was closed and subsequently demolished. We now frequent one of the pubs in Sevenoaks depending on our latest whim.
Who plays?
Knockers has a diverse range of members and players. The club
stalwarts of many years mix with the younger players to provide a
wide range of cricketing experiences. The team comprises mainly
of people from the Sevenoaks area but many others from nearby
areas play too. There is an unwritten link between Knockers and
Sevenoaks Vine mainly due to many of the players playing for both
but there is fierce competition as shown by the annual match
where no one holds back the hostilities.

Knockers play a diverse range of teams ranging from the big clubs
