FLEETWOOD CRICKET CLUB

Founded: 1891. Joined Northern League: 1952

Fleetwood CC was a founder member of the Palace Shield Competition in 1902 and then spent two seasons in the Ribblesdale League in 1950 and 1951 before becoming founder members of the Northern League in 1952.

The ground leased from the Corporation in 1923 was then in open country but the surrounding area was rapidly being built up. Broadwater staged several Lancashire CCC Second XI fixtures between 1978 and 1998.

They have been Northern League champions on four occasions, in 1972, 1975, 1985 and 2004 and division two champions outright nine times, also sharing the title in 1985.

Notable former club professionals include Charlie Stayers, Bob Entwistle, Michael Whitney, Franklyn Stephenson and Paul Harris. Chesney Hughes, who played for the club as an amateur in 2009 was Derbyshire CCC’s Player of the Year in 2010.
