Welcome to Sale Cricket Club at play-cricket.com
Established in 1854 Sale Cricket Club has a long history in Cheshire Cricket. We currently field 4 senior teams in the Cheshire County Cricket League and 6 junior teams in the South Manchester Junior Cricket League at Under 9,11,13,14,15 and 18 levels. There is also an Over 40's team, Sale Silverbacks, in the Cheshire County Cricket League.
Situated on the southern border of Greater Manchester the club boasts one of the largest and best-kept grounds in Cheshire. We have an open membership policy and always welcome new members.
We celebrated our 150th Anniversary in 2004 in style by securing promotion for all 3 senior teams; our 2nd & 3rd XI’s both finishing as Champions. In 2005 we held our position in the league and gained Clubmark accreditation which will help us with our plans to develop the Club and improve the facilities on offer. In 2006 the first team finshed fourth in the CCCL Division 2 while the 2nd XI finished 7th in Division 2. The 3rd XI finished 4th in the CCCL Sunday Division 3 East. In 2007 the 1st XI again finished fourth in their league, just 9 points behind promoted side Warrington. The 2nd XI were eighth and the 3rd XI finished 7th.
In 2008 the 1st XI finished the season in 7th position but the 2nd XI were worthy and convincing winners of their league with 15 wins out of 18 matches completed and will be competing in Division 1 in 2009. The Sunday 3rd XI finished a creditable 3rd having lost 7 matches to bad weather and the Over 40s ended 6th in East Division 2. In 2009 a 4th XI will be started due to the large number of juniors now coming through the age groups.
In 2009 the 1st XI finished third, just 21 points behind promoted Middlewich. The promoted 2nd XI finished 10th in Division One but both the 3rd and 4th XIs won their leagues, the latter in its inaugural season. The Over 40's did not have a successful year but still enjoyed their cricket!
The 2010 season was a particularly successful and memorable one for all the teams that played. The 1st XI finally secured the promotion to Division One that they had been seeking for so many years. Their haul of 14 wins gave them a magnificent 414 points, normally enough to win the league but in the end 23 points behind winners Marple. The 2nd XI finished a creditable 4th and the 3rd XI won their league for the second year in succession and will be playing in the top tier next season. The 4th XI had some good wins to finish 5th after their promotion last season, and the Over 40's Silverbacks easily won their regional league,only to lose in the semi-finals of the regional winners.
