Cricket Report - April 2026
be far away! Indeed, the first home fixture this year takes place on Saturday 25th April, when our
1st XI take on Darley. The 2nd XI start the same day away at Rainton. Also, our Women's Team
commence their competitive season on Sunday 3rd May, hosting Masham at Railway View.
Our junior section is ready to go,
too. With teams at U9, U11 and U13 as well as our hugely popular All
Stars
programme, the warmer weather cannot come too quickly.
It was lovely to see a number of
spectators popping up to the ground last season. If you would like to visit
your local cricket club, it would be great to see you there!

It’s been a summer to remember for Newton-le-Willows Cricket Club! Both
senior sides put in
strong performances, finishing high up in their
divisions. The 1st XI came tantalizingly close to promotion
from Division 2.
The 2nd XI won promotion to Division 7, as well as winning the Peter Bentley
trophy.
Our junior section goes from strength to strength. We had record numbers
of All Stars and the U11 team lifted the Hambleton League trophy. The girls'
U12 team turned in some fantastic performances. Also,
our women’s side proudly
took to the field for their very first matches – a brilliant step forward for
the club.
It was lovely to see a number of spectators popping up to the ground
over the season. Thank you for
your support. If you or anyone you know fancies
joining in, new players are always welcome. We offer
cricket for all ages, for
male and female, and for a range of abilities.
