Welcome to Saddleworth Cricket Club

The Club play in the GMCL, after many years in the Saddleworth and District Cricket League, in 2016 the club became founder members of the Pennine Cricket League, unfortunately the League had to fold, and we have been welcomed into the Greater Manchester Cricket League.

The club have had a couple of eventful seasons in the GMCL, we were initially placed in Division 1 in 2018 and the team did well finishing in the top half, however a number of players moved on leaving depleted numbers so with the help of the GMCL the team dropped down a couple of divisions.

Season 2019 saw us in Division 3E which following the acquisition of some more players saw us under the captaincy of Steven Howard win the division quite comfortably.

For season 2020 we will field two senior teams as well as junior sides from under 9's all the way through to under 15's. We are always on the lookout for new cricketers of any age or ability.

Additionally we are proud to be part of the England and Wales cricket board initiative re All Stars Cricket to encourage the stars of the future, this is on Fridays from 6.30pm

Our 1st team once again captained by Steven Howard and including our overseas professional Imran Aslam play on Saturdays' in Division 2 of the GMCL, with the second team captained by Nathan Gallagher playing on Sundays.

Season 2020 also sees the re-entry into the GMCL 20/20 competition

2020 promises to be an interesting year, Senior Matches are on Saturday or Sunday afternoons, juniors play Sunday Mornings and Monday, senior practice is on Tuesday evenings (6.15pm)and Junior Practice, and All Stars Fridays (6.30pm).

Please keep checking back on Twitter, Facebook or on this site where we will keep you updated on training nights and matches as well any news and info on all areas of the club.
