Club History

Report

Barnton Cricket Club owes its origins to a splendidly-bearded clergyman by the name of the Reverend Samuel Lancaster Laidman. It was he who founded the club in 1880, during his time as Vicar of Christ Church, Barnton. Its chief patron in the early days was the local 'squire', Mr A. Smith-Barry Esq., who had provided villagers with facilities to play organised cricket in the grounds of his stately home, Marbury Hall, as early as 1862.

Club Sponsors

Report

Barnton Cricket Club Sponsors are many and varied, some amazing business and charities. Without them we wouldn't be here and we are constantly grateful for all their help and continued support. Our main club sponsor is Molson Coors Brewery. It is steeped in History, tracing its roots back to 1774 when William Worthington and William Bass began brewing in Burton On Trent.

Cricket

Report

Under the leadership of section Chairman Simon Hancock the clubs aim is for the players to enjoy the game, this is evident with 3 senior teams playing over the weekend and 5 junior teams playing mid week. Section membership is on the increase across the board, a sign that the section are doing things correctly and in the right spirit.

Squash

Report

The Squash Section boasts two private centrally-heated courts, open to members only, which can be considered to be the best-maintained in the county. The court walls have been recently replastered and the floors on both courts were replaced only recently. The section fields four mens and two ladies teams competing in the North West Counties Squash League (nwcsl.org).
