NETHERFIELD CRICKET CLUB
Founded: 1893. Joined Northern League: 1958
Netherfield CC originally played on Murley Moss before establishing the
current ground, which was formerly used as a tip. The club played in the
Village Combination until joining the North Lancashire League in 1926,
becoming champions in 1953. In 1959 Netherfield replaced Furness CC
as members of the Northern League.
Until the late 1970s membership
of the club was restricted to employees of the K Shoes factory but since
the membership was opened up the club has been more successful on
the field. The club have five times been champions of the Northern
League, in 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2008 and were division two
champions in 1989.
Since 1956 the Parkside Road ground has regularly
hosted Cumberland CCC games, including four List A one day games
against Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lancashire and Sussex.
Netherfield
have won the Meageen Cumbrian Cup on 13 occasions since 1982, the
last in 2008.
Notable former club professionals include SK Girdhari, Bob
Entwistle, David Boon, Jacques Kallis, Ken Benjamin, Pieter Strydom and
Callum Ferguson, the latter setting a new league batting record in 2008
before going on to play one day internationals for Australia.
