Ariel View of Southowram Cricket Club

Southowram Cricket club have three senior teams. The first and second team play on Saturdays and the third team play on Sundays. All three teams are members of the Towergate Halifax League and are in the top sections of their respective 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 2009 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.
