==Sport== Harefield is home to [[Harefield United F.C.|Harefield United Football Club]], which was founded in 1868 and is the oldest in Middlesex.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.harefieldunited.co.uk/index.php?hidAction=ViewPage&PageId=8 |title=Harefield United FC: Club History |access-date=31 August 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100429123636/http://www.harefieldunited.co.uk/index.php?hidAction=ViewPage&PageId=8 |archive-date=29 April 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Harefield is home to Harefield Cricket Club, whose first and second teams play their matches at the Woods Cricket Ground on Breakspear Road North. In 2008, however, the Dairy Farm Ground (behind the current first team pitch) was opened in order to accommodate the third and fourth XIs. This was done in conjunction with the Harefield Parochial Charity. In 2009, the first XI achieved promotion to the Home Counties Cricket League, and are therefore one division away from the highest level of club cricket in England and Wales. In 2010, HCC had the most successful season in its history, with the second, third & fourth XI's all winning their respective leagues. The Sunday Academy side won their division of the Chess Valley League. The 2014 season saw the first XI play their first season in the Premier Division and after a protracted relegation battle, they survived on the last game of season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/11458306.CRICKET__Harefield_escape_at_Banbury/|title = FOOTBALL: Sub Shaw strikes dramatic winner for Wantage}}</ref> A second season in the top flight secured their status as the highest ranked club in the area. Harefield is also home to an Elite Gymnastics Academy. The Harefield Academy, Northwood Road, opened in September 2005 on the John Penrose School site.<ref>[http://www.theharefieldacademy.org The Harefield Academy website]</ref>
