Welcome to our website. Northop Hall Cricket Club is one of the North West's premier cricket clubs playing 1st, 2nd and 3rd eleven senior cricket in the Liverpool and District Cricket Competition. We also have junior cricket teams that compete in the North Wales area as well as Social teams. With purpose built practice netting facilities and high quality ground conditions and changing rooms, I am sure you would be impressed by our set up.
Tudor Jones
Northop Hall Cricket Club - Chairman
Northop Hall Cricket Club has three Saturday teams a team in the Chester and District Mid-Week league and junior teams at all levels. The Saturday teams all play in the Liverpool and District Cricket Competition. The Liverpool competition uses timed cricket rather than limited overs, making for a more tactical game on the positive side, but leading to a number of games being drawn instead of having a clear winner.
The club also fields five men's and two women's hockey teams and has a total membership of around 600 people.
Northop Hall were winners of the Welsh Senior Cup in 1997 and runners up in 2008.
The club hosted several Wales Minor Counties games and was chosen as venue for the Wales MC v Middlesex NatWest clash in 1994. Middlesex captain Mike Gatting commented that 'the pitch is better than Lords' and that 'it was the best ground I have played on for a couple of years.'
