Catsfield Football Club<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Catsfield FC was formed in 1906 and was at the heart of the village until it folded in 1997. Thankfully the club was reformed in 2001 under the watchful eyes of Mike Davey, Martin Gurr, Andy Gurr and Scott Lavocah. They won the division 7 title in their first season back and came runners up in the JCF Jewellery Challenge Cup final.  The club then went on a steady rise through the East Sussex League, peaking in Division one and winning a number of cup competitions along the way. In recent times Catsfield achieved success with a cup double in the 2023\/24 season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catsfield are now under the stewardship of brothers Adam & Tom Barham in East Sussex Division two. They are always looking for new players from the local area. If you are interested please contact David via catsfieldfc@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catsfield Stoolball Club<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The game of stoolball, more than 500 years old, is the forerunner of the modern game of cricket. The modern rules of stoolball were consolidated at a meeting at Glynde in East Sussex in 1881. Until the introduction of secondary schools, Catsfield C of E Primary School taught children until the age of 14 so stoolball was one of the sports played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays we have both ladies and mixed teams, playing on Tuesday and Thursday evenings throughout the summer and at local tournaments on some Sundays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact can be made through their Facebook page or by contacting Scott Lavocah at catsfieldstoolball@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catsfield History Group <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are a small group which meet fortnightly in a room on the first floor of the village hall.  The group was formed as part of the village millennium celebrations to set up a history of the village.  At that time, we were led by an archivist from a local museum who advised us how to compile, store and maintain the village records.  On behalf of residents, we continue to hold and maintain a large number of pictures, photographs, articles and other items relating to the parish of Catsfield.   Members of the group can be contacted by email catsfieldarchivegroup@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group is insured, and volunteer safety is a priority therefore they stick to a risk assessment for the activity.\u00a0It is a rewarding pastime and makes a real impact to the local community.\u00a0 It is a great way to meet friends and get to know your neighbours.\u00a0The announcements for upcoming litter pick details are placed on the local village Facebook Page.\u00a0 Contact with the group can be made either via the Clerk or through responding to the Facebook posts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
