Woodhouse Grange has come a very long way since it was established in 1942, in the middle of World War Two, as a recreational cricket club for local farmworkers.

Widely recognised as one of the best cricket clubs in the York region, above all else Woodhouse Grange it is a family friendly club that welcomes players of all ages and all abilities.

Although an amateur club we run on a very professional basis with an executive committee and various sub-committees, including commercial, cricket, and grounds committees.

We run a total of 12 different teams, so can cater for players of all abilities and ages:

• Four Saturday teams including our 1st XI which plays in Yorkshire Premier League North – an ECB Premier League, the highest standard of cricket outside the professional game.
• Five junior teams covering under 9s, 11s, 13s, 15s and 18s.
• Two evening league teams
• Our Grey Fox XI - for the over 50s.

We have two excellent pitches, good practice facilities, a welcoming clubhouse, and a fine reputation for great cricket teas! Whilst the players are our most important members, there is a whole range of dedicated non-playing members involved in the club including groundsmen, bar staff, umpires, scorers, and especially our acclaimed tea ladies.

Keen on cricket and want to get involved, but not as a player?

One of the fundamental reasons for Woodhouse Grange’s continuing success is the number of non-playing volunteers involved at the club.

We are extremely keen to welcome new non-playing members. There are many areas to get involved in, including ground maintenance, scoring, umpiring, teas, and many other important cricket tasks.
