Coulsdon Cricket Club was an English cricket club based at Coulsdon, Surrey. The club is believed to have been formed in the early 1760s and it had for a time a great rivalry with Chertsey Cricket Club.
Coulsdon is first recorded as a cricket team in May 1769 when a combined Coulsdon and Caterham team played All-England at Smitham Bottom in nearby Croydon.[1] The club's last known match in 1784 was against Chertsey at Laleham Burway and they lost that by 313 runs.[2] In most of Coulsdon's matches, the result is unknown, but the team did defeat Sussex in 1775.
One of the club's most notable players was William Palmer.
