Cricket Report - June 2026
The 2026 season has started well
for Newton-le-Willows Cricket Club! Despite playing in a wide range of
temperatures, home and away, both the 1st XI and the 2nd XI are currently
unbeaten.
Our junior section has tremendous
energy too. With more juniors than the club has ever had, Friday
evenings are a
joy! We have dedicated coaches for every team, all superbly supported by a
number of
secondary school-aged players.
We have excellent numbers of All Stars. It is also pleasing to celebrate
our U9, U11 and U13 teams who have all put in some excellent performances.
Cricket is the winner!
Also of note is the strong start
our Women's XI have made to the season. In their opening fixtures, they
have
won two of three, at the point of writing. Moreover, they are enjoying every
minute!
WANTED: As our pavilion build
comes to a close, we are looking for photos of players and/or teams of
the
past. We are keen that our pavilion captures the history of the club. If you
come across any, please
share via newtonlewillowscc@gmail.com or speak
to Vic Wilthew.
It is lovely to see so many
spectators popping up to Railway View. Thank you for your support. Please do
come and join in with a thriving cricket club.

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.
