About
Matlock and Cromford Meadows Cricket Club, nestled in the towns of Matlock and Cromford in Derbyshire, is right on the edge of the Peak District National Park and the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site. With a deep love for cricket, the club creates a warm and inclusive vibe for players of all ages and skills.
During the winter, Dan organises training sessions at Highfields Upper School Sports Hall. There's something for everyone—junior softball, girls and ladies training, plus junior and senior hardball sessions. It’s a great way to up your game and get ready for the season ahead.
Come 2024, the 1st XI will be playing in Division 3 N, the 2nd XI in Division 7 N, and the 3rd XI in Division 10 N. They’re also big on nurturing future talent, with U17 mid-week matches and Development Team games on weekends. Their Juniors section is buzzing too, with All Stars, Dynamos, and teams from U11 to U13.
A new highlight this season is the U12 girls team, which is a fantastic addition. They’ve also got a strong ladies team that trains and competes throughout the season.
