Riding Mill Cricket Club have been established since the late 1800’s
and have been back at Broomhaugh since 1987 when the late Mr Dickinson provided
the funds for the clubhouse and re-modelling of the outfield to allow the housing
development at the top of whiteside bank.
Games are mostly played on a Sunday afternoon from around 2pm. There are a
handful of 20 over night games played throughout the season. We play friendly
fixtures against a mixture of opposition, always played in a good competitive
yet friendly spirit. There is no selection policy, if someone wants to play then
it’s as simple as putting your name in the book.
Tea is taken at around 5pm, anyone wishing to come and watch is more than
welcome to pop in for a cup of tea and a cake.
We are keen to develop cricket in the village from a young age and are very
keen that anyone wanting to play should come along or contact myself. However
as our very own Bryan Stevens continues to demonstrate at the ripe old age of
77 that age is no barrier.
We are hoping for a successful 2009 season to follow on from the successes
of 2008 and hope the village will offer further support to this friendly organisation.
