Ariel View of Southowram Cricket Club

Season 2008 sees the return of Ian Uttley as first team captain and the appointment of Ian Gledhill as second team captain. Martin Reppion continues as third team captain for a third year. Southowram Cricket Club's senior teams will be playing in the top sections of their respective Towergate Halifax League competitions.

Future Planning

Southowram Cricket Club is actively working towards the ECB Clubmark status with a view to achieving this before the end of the 2008 season. We believe that Clubmark status will demonstrate the club's commitment to cricket development within the area.

The club has a long term plan in place to improve the playing surface by vertidraining the ground and then spreading sand over the outfield in the off season for the next 5 - 10 years. This work is intended to improve the structure of the soil leading to better draining of the outfield.

We are also in the process of extending the clubhouse. The extension will include improved storage for the bar area, an umpire's changing room and the kitchen area which will be relocated from its current position thus significantly increasing the function room area.

All this, along with proposed new sight screens, extended patio area to the front of the Club and the ever improving facilities shows that we are a truly progressive and ambitious Club.
