East Molesey Cricket Club is a cricket club in Molesey, Surrey. It was established in 1871,[1] although cricket has been played at the Moulsey Hurst since 1731.[2] East Molesey's current ground, 'The Memorial Ground', has been the home for the Surrey club since the late 19th century and is situated just outside the town centre, sitting right on the bank of the River Thames.[3] They currently compete in the Surrey Championship, the Cockspur Cup, the Evening Standard Challenge Trophy, the Bertie Joel Cup and the Thameside Sunday League.

[edit] History
In 1795, the first ever recorded LBW decision was made at Moulsey Hurst, which is where the club began.
In the 1950s, East Molesey played host to both the Australian cricket team & the New Zealand cricket team in warm up matches during their respective tours of England. More recently, in 2003 the club organised a game with Lashings, in which many former test players took part, including Mark Waugh, Richie Richardson and Chris Harris.
