Other sports include a very active Cricket Club from U9's through to Adults as well as women's team. The tennis club situated at the side of the village green has two recently resurfaced courts with a thriving adult and junior membership. There is also a tag-rugby team which meets throughout the year and the highlight of the year is the Si Viney Tag Tournament which raises funds for the Wooden Spoon Charity and MDNA and has raised £65,000 to date.

Run Barns Green is the largest sporting event of the year with a Half Marathon, 10k, 5k and children's colour run which is run on the last Sunday of September and has been running for over 40 years with an average of 2000 runners which supports local associations and St Catherine's Hospice.
