The Heart of Sport in Northchurch
Preserving and promoting community sport at the Meadow since 1947.
Welcome to the Meadow
“On behalf of the Trustees and the entire Northchurch Sports Association, I am delighted to welcome you to our new online home.
Since 1947, ‘The Meadow’ has been more than just a collection of sports pitches; it has been the green heart of our village. As a registered charity, our sole purpose is to ensure that this beautiful space remains protected and available for sport and recreation for everyone in Northchurch—today, and for generations to come.
Whether you are here to check on cricket fixtures, join the tennis club, or simply find out more about our history, we hope you find this site a helpful resource. Our grounds are maintained through the hard work of volunteers and the vital support of our community.
We invite you to get involved, whether by joining one of our resident clubs or supporting our charitable mission. Together, we can keep the spirit of local sport alive and well at the Meadow.
See you on the boundary!”
[Name of Chairman/Chairwoman] Chair of Trustees, Northchurch Sports Association
