Illingworth St Marys Cricket Club

Illingworth Cricket Club providing sporting opportunities for all

The principal aim of the club is the promotion of the game of cricket and other athletic sports and pastimes and the development of suitable facilities for healthy recreation and fellowship. The club runs three senior teams which train two evenings and play matches on Saturdays and Sundays and occasionally mid week from April to September. The club also runs junior teams at under 9, under 11, under 13 and under 15 age groups with weekly training and matches.

Why the community needs us
Illingworth works hard to deliver coaching programmes to schools within the local area which encourages children to take part in sport, improve their fitness and learn how to work in a team environment. All money raised by the club and its supporters goes back into the facilities used to deliver such coaching and these facilities are also made available to various other community groups making the club a central part of the Illingworth community.

Our impact on the community
An example of the great work delivered by the club was the All Stars Cricket programme for 5-8 year olds in 2019 and it is hoped to run this again, along with the Dynamos course for 8-11 year olds in 2021.
The club's facilities are also used by Whitehill Junior School for fitness programmes and activities.
