Cricket at BCC
Introduction
Blackpool Cricket Club have 4 Saturday sides, 1 Sunday Side, 2 Womens Sides and 7 Junior Teams. Our First XI play in the Northern Premier Cricket League, whereas our other sides play in the Palace Shield Cricket Competition.
We have won the Northern Premier Cricket League Division One More than any other club in History. In 2013, our First XI and Third XI's both won their respective Cup Competitions. In 2014 we went one better, and were Northern League Champions for the first time since 1990. It was a double in 2018, both the First XI and Second XI's won their respective Leagues.
Ladies
We are looking forward going into our second season. Ladies and girls cricket is still growing at BCC and this year we have four teams going into the league with the start of a new softball league. The fixtures for the games are listed below and available on the club website.
The home game against St Annes CC, normally during early August, is our annual charity game in memory of Gordon Chubb. All proceeds from this day go to the Motor Neuron Disease Charity. For more information about Ladies Cricket contact Jane Boyne, Ladies Cricket Manager via Contact Us
Juniors
We have a successful Junior Setup.
Junior Practices run twice a week, on Mondays from 6pm and Fridays from 6pm.
Our Juniors have won the Palace Shield Rose Trophy (Under 17s) and Tom Jenkins Trophy (Under 15s) more than any other club.
