PRESTON CRICKET CLUB
Founded: 1821. Joined Northern League: 1953
Preston CC is one of the oldest cricket clubs in the world. The club
played on three different grounds at the Marsh near Ashton,
Penwortham Holme and Penwortham Marsh before establishing West
Cliff in 1859.
Preston joined the Liverpool Competition in 1947 after
previously having a club policy of participating only in friendly fixtures.
After missing the inaugural Northern League season they became
members of the league in 1953.
Preston were joint champions in 1967
and won the title outright in 1970 and 1983 and were division two
champions in 1962 and 1986.
West Cliff staged five Lancashire CCC
first-class fixtures between 1936 and 1952.
Notable former
professionals include Javed Miandad and Mark Greatbatch while
popular Pakistan professional Bilal Asad marked five years with the club
with a benefit game in September 2010.
