Running a grassroots cricket club means juggling a hundred little tasks – chasing availability, confirming fixtures, handling selection, and of course, trying to collect cricket match fees. The last one alone can eat up hours every week, especially when you’re relying on bank transfers, spreadsheets, or players promising to “sort it out next week.”
That’s where Spond steps in. With over 3 million users every month, this free team management app is helping clubs across the UK reclaim their time by making it easier than ever to collect cricket match fees and stay on top of their finances.
No More Cash, Chasing, or Confusion
Spond’s built-in payments system lets you collect cricket match fees directly through the app. You can set fees for individual matches, whole seasons, or specific events, and assign them to players or groups. Once set up, players receive a notification and can pay instantly via card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
It’s quick, secure, and fully trackable. No more waiting for cash, wondering who paid via bank transfer, or spending your Sunday night matching payments to players.
Chris Lindner, Treasurer at Dulwich Cricket Club, saw the impact almost immediately:
“Now that all payments are automated, requested and processed through Spond, I can see exactly who’s paid and who hasn’t, and more easily manage the financial health of the club.”
In just 30 days, Dulwich CC collected £80,000 in payments – all tracked and reconciled in-app.
Full Financial Visibility
When you collect cricket match fees through Spond, you get complete transparency. Each payment is recorded and linked to the member who made it, so you always know what’s outstanding and where your club stands financially.
For club treasurers, it’s a game-changer. No more guesswork, no more chasing vague references, and no more losing track of who owes what. You can export reports, monitor cash flow, and make informed decisions about your club’s finances with confidence.
Save Time Every Week
Volunteers are the backbone of grassroots cricket. But they’re also human, and they only have so many hours in the week. With Spond, coaches, admins and organisers save an average of 2.5 hours per week by automating routine admin – from collecting payments to chasing availability.
Grant Scandling, a committee member at Shoreham and Otford Cricket Club, says:
“We would really struggle to manage the team without Spond. It’s one of those things where you look back and wonder how on earth you got by without it.”
When your system to collect cricket match fees also helps you manage availability, share match info, send updates and keep everything in one place – that’s when your club really starts running efficiently.
Designed for Teams, Built for Clubs
Spond isn’t just about matchday logistics. It’s a complete club management platform. In addition to collecting cricket match fees, you can:

Once your players are in the app, you can collect cricket match fees, assign fees to events, request payments with one click, and monitor everything from the Spond dashboard.
As Grant puts it:
