Crompton Cricket Club

Crompton Cricket Club, located centrally in the village of Crompton off Glebe Street, Shaw, Oldham, is a proud member of the Lancashire Cricket League. Established in 2018, the club made the decision to resign from the newly formed Pennine League and joined the Lancashire league, a league with a rich history dating back to 1892.

The Lancashire league embarked on a mission to recruit teams from other leagues in order to enhance competitiveness and ensure top-quality cricket matches played on grounds with excellent facilities. Crompton was accepted into the Lancashire League alongside six other ex-Central Lancashire league clubs, namely Walsden, Norden, Rochdale, Middleton, Littleborough, and Milnrow. This merger created a league comprising 24 teams.

In its inaugural season in 2018, Crompton showcased an exceptional performance, finishing in 9th place. As a result, the club earned its well-deserved spot in the leading division for the upcoming season, alongside reputable teams such as Walsden, Lowerhouse, Ramsbottom, Darwen, Church & Oswaldtwistle, Norden, Burnley, Clitheroe, Accrington, Rochdale, and Todmorden. The league will now consist of home and away matches, introducing relegation and promotion involving the other division. This ensures a highly competitive environment for all participating clubs.

Crompton Cricket Club is proud to have qualified coaches for all its junior cricket teams, fostering a safe and secure learning environment for aspiring cricketers. Each coach holds the necessary DBS checks, as do the Child Welfare Officers associated with the club.

At Crompton, the social side of the club is equally prominent. The clubhouse boasts a spacious function room, a snooker/games room, an outdoor children's park, and a beer garden. Additionally, the club grounds include a cricket pitch, a football pitch, and expansive well-maintained grass areas, all of which are enclosed within a secure environment. The picturesque views of the Pennine Hills further elevate the club's appeal, envied by many other clubs.

The club's facilities are also available for hire at competitive rates. Prospective members are encouraged to contact the club for further details and inquiries.
