==Sport== Despite Cogenhoe's size it manages to support a number of successful sporting ventures, attracting players and members from across Northamptonshire. ===Cogenhoe United Football Club=== {{main|Cogenhoe United F.C.}} Their early days were not documented and are now obscure. Inter-village friendlies gradually led to membership of the now extinct Central Village League. A variety of pitches were used until in 1950 the first game, against Northampton Yeomanry, was played on the then new playing field. United ceased to exist after 1958, and re-formed for the 1967-8 season, competing in the Central Northants Football Combination. By 1978 the club had progressed from the Second Division into the Premier Division. In a six-year period thirteen winners' and six runners-up trophies were won. Development of facilities became paramount for promotion into the [[United Counties Football League]]. A lease on {{convert|3.6|acre|m2}} of agricultural land was obtained from the [[Marquis of Northampton]]. Compton Park was now on the map and purpose-built facilities were developed with a spectator stand and the team gained promotion into the UCFL for the season 1985-6.<ref>Cogenhoe United FC official website</ref> ===Cogenhoe Cricket Club=== The club currently (2018) play at Cogenhoe Playing Fields in Division 5 (1st XI) and Division 10 (2nd XI) of the [[Northamptonshire Cricket League]]. ===Cogenhoe Bowls Club=== The village also hosts a thriving mixed club, with approximately 70 members. ===Community Life=== *1st Cogenhoe Sea Scout Group *Cogenhoe and Whiston Heritage Society - study, record and stimulate interest in the history and heritage of the two villages *Ladies Fellowship - Ladies group connected to St Peters Church *Mature Movers - Gentle fitness classes aimed at improving overall fitness, flexibility, balance and coordination in the 50+ age group *Walking for Health Group - relatively short fortnightly walks
