ASHLEY CRICKET CLUB

The Railway Field, Ashley Road, Ashley, Cheshire WA14 3QE

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.

Big Bird Tweets!

This season Brian will be attempting to push the edge of hi-tech envelope and will be twittering the latest matchday goss in real-time from his hi-tech handset do-dah. Keep up to date with with the hilarious sight of our very own Sergeant Wilson trying act like a teenager by resisting the temptation to use vowels and punctuation. LOL while he tries to get to grips with the latest acronyms and tries to cram his perfectly formed prose into 140 characters.
Welcome everyone, to the 2010 cricket season. We hope that you have had a pleasant winter and are ready for some good-quality cricket and lots of sunshine!?! There have been a few changes down at Ashley over the winter - we have some new faces joining us on the committee, and down at the ground we have had been very busy following several successful grant applications. These improvements include: For 2010 have again set ourselves some objectives this year in order that we continue to improve the standards and quality of cricket at Ashley Cricket Club, and also to build on the enjoyment and development of the 2009 season. Going forwards, our key objectives for the 2010 cricket season are – We will hold our Pre-Season meeting on Monday 12th April starting at 6:15pm where we hope all parents will attend with their children to ensure all documentation giving permissions and essential medical conditions can completed, and to meet the junior cricket team. We will also have a representative from Cooper Sports present with a range of cricket clothing and equipment available at discount. If you can’t make it please contact the CWO Dave Woods and we can arrange for this essential admin task to be completed by post. Pre-season we will also be hosting a couple of ground work parties to tackle some of the essential jobs to bring the club out of hibernation and spruce up for the coming season. If you feel that you have any skills that may be of use or can simply offer a bit of light labour; with a paint brush, or help to fill a skip or tea making skills then do please get involved as we seek to make Ashley an even better place to play cricket. Good Luck for 2010 - and enjoy yourselves!
