Tigers make history in both FA Cup & FA Vase. This season Kingsbury London Tigers reached the 1st Rd qualifying in the FA Cup for the 1st time in our club history.  In the FA Vase the team is also going strongly winning our 1st two qualifying games against Hatfield and Takeley and face league opposition Biggleswade Utd away on Sat 3rd Oct 09 in the 1st Round Proper.

Raihan, Maruf & Soyfor have all played for London Tigers in various leagues and competitions this season.  Also 11 of the 18 man squad of the Times Tigers have represented London Tigers this season.  This is the 1st season London Tigers CC have been running a full programme of activities for all age groups.  Therefore, the involvement of so many of our players in the Wisden City Cup is a testament to our  ambition to create opportunities, to fulfill dreams from estates to elite levels.

This team mainly comprises of Ex-Pat Bangladeshi people who come together to keep childhood traditions going.  As young people many of these players would be up in the morning and play circket all day long.  Since they have moved the to UK the playing oppportunities have significantly decreased as a result of facilities, time, work and family commitment.  Hence this is the reason for starting this community cricket team.
