Home page of Stainborough Cricket Club

At Stainborough, spectators can watch a game of cricket every Saturday afternoon from Mid April to mid September, and at the same time take advantage of our licensed bar and tea room for refreshments. As a player, or potential player, you have a wide variety of opportunities, including 2 senior teams playing on Saturdays in the Pontefract League, and a Sunday team in the Barnsley League. We have no less than 4 junior teams, and we run practice and fun cricket sessions for boys and girls from 6 onwards. Cricket is open to all at Stainborough, young or old, male or female, disabled or able-bodied. We run training sessions with qualified coaches three times a week during the season, and in the winter we organise indoor practice and coaching sessions.

But cricket is not just about playing – we regularly attract significant numbers of spectators, tempted by the famous Stainborough barbecues and bar. This is village cricket in its purest form, deckchairs and sun-loungers on the boundary, picnics and barbecues under way, tea and sandwiches, and the essential post match pint of cool beer. Add to that our legendary social events, including our renowned Sportsmen’s dinner and our annual tour to Dundee in Scotland. We also run regular events such as race nights, family fun days and host a very entertaining Pub knockout competition over the August bank holiday weekend. In recent years we have joined forces with Greenacre School to provide recreational cricket for disabled children at our ground.
