Metro has two cricket teams – Metro and the Metro Devils.
Metro play their home matches at Highgate Wood. Training is also held at the cricket nets at Highgate Wood weekly in the evenings during the cricket season. Visit the ‘Events‘ page here or the quick link on the right of this page for match dates.
The main cricket season is usually from May to September. Cricket net training events are held throughout the year, outside of the cricket season, including cricket nets held at Lords or at the Oval in January and February, which offers a great introduction to the sport and a chance to learn from our friendly Metro cricket team players.
