Friendly Cribbage League

Welcome to the Friendly Cribbage League web site

We play on Monday nights at various venues throughout South East London from September to April starting at 8.00pm

The normal format of a league evening is 6 games of individual Sixes, 3 games of Doubles and 6 games of Fives

Beginners and experienced players are welcome, just turn up on a home match night at your local venue.

We are always looking for new players to join our existing teams or pubs who wish to start a team no matter how experienced you are. To find your local team please look at our contact page and contact your local team or our fixtures secretary Gary Hart.  Alternatively just turn up a a pub on a fixtures night and introduce yourself.

COVID UPDATE

Despite the possibility of pubs opening up in July I'm afraid the league will not be resuming any time.  Given the uncertainty and need for social distancing it would be unfair to our teams to even consider restarting.  For those missing their cribbage fix there are a number of online games where you can play each other (and not just a computer) such as this one

League Update

It has been decided that the last league game of the season will be played as normal on 23 March but the dates for the individual tournament finals will be put on hold for a period of 3-4 weeks while we see how the Corona virus issue plays out.

Charity Night Update

We are pleased to announce that the annual Captains' Charity night raised £1,400.  Many thanks to everyone who can along on the night, those that donated prizes and our hosts David & Judith of the Morden Arms for a tremendous evening.
