Whitby Cricket Club

About Whitby CC

Our history

A big milestone for Whitby Cricket Club has been the transition from the Scarborough beckett leagues to the North Yorkshire and south durham leagues where we have seen a vast improvement of opposing teams, higher standard of grounds, neutral umpires and a large development of players both at senior level and junior level. Additionally the club have received multiple gold awards for club administration and we now have an official national club accreditation.

The club relocated all of its facilities and a complete new, modern club house and pavilion were designed and built. Whitby Cricket Club now has modern changing rooms, electronic scoreboard, club lounge with a licensed bar named "The Cutter Shed" as the new club house was built on the site where the old cutter was kept.

On top of the major improvements made to the ground, facilities, new club house and pavilion, Whitby Cricket Club acquired the services of a County Standard Ground Consultant whom has aided ground staff in transforming the wicket and playing surface into a much higher standard which has resulted in a much higher run rate and player satisfaction.

For several years now, we have had the addition of overseas players, mainly from Australia coming over as part of an exchange program.

After 22 Years, John Hall has stood down as chairman but plans to remain as an integral part of Whitby Cricket club, Vice Chairman Tim Richardson will now take over and we all look forward to a new era.
