Welcome to Ashley
Ashley Cricket Club was founded in 1888, and is run as an inclusive club to offer competitive sport for players of all ability. Set in the picturesque village of Ashley, the club runs 4 senior teams and several junior teams from ages 9 to 15. All the senior teams play within the Cheshire pyramid with the First and Second XIs currently in the Mellor Braggins League and the Third and Fourth XIs in the Cheshire League.The website is a starting point for everything related to the club. You can find all the fixtures for the current and the last few seasons. After each game the captains vie with each other to see who can outdo the others by producing a match report that will enlighten and entertain in equal measures. Averages and tables are updated as and when someone can be bothered to compile them, which normally will often coincide with a 50 or 5 wickets from the captain in question.
As well as this site Ashley maintains a group on Facebook. Join this and you can take part in the lively debates or just enjoy the wit and and banter of your fellow club players and members. Please remember, this is a family club and that young people will be reading our comments. It is everyone's responsibility to protect the wonderful reputation of this club by ensuring that all discussion is appropriate. The old message board has been closed down.
To keep our members informed of everything that is going on around the club, Ashley produce a regular newsletter with loads of interesting stuff. You can view the latest one or ones from previous months here.
