Senior Cricket
One of a select few clubs with four teams in the Yorkshire Premier League North (YPLN), Woodhouse Grange offers opportunities to play senior cricket at a range of levels. Having two adjacent pitches, during the summer we are able to offer cricket to 44 players (home and away) on any given Saturday, as well as midweek matches in our evening league teams.
First Team
Our 1st XI plays in the YPLN ECB Premier League, one of three such leagues across the Yorkshire pyramid system and the highest standard of cricket outside the professional game.
Since joining the YPLN as inaugural members in 2016, Woodhouse Grange has been consistently competitive at the top level, being league runners-up twice and generally finishing in the top five. Even greater success has come our way in the shorter formats, in which we have won several ECB pink ball cup competitions.
Prior to this, our first team enjoyed considerable success at both local and national level.
Second Team
As of 2025, our '2s' play in the new ECB Yorkshire Premier Division 2, just below the YPLN top tier.
Previously known as the Championship, our second string won this division in 2023 (losing only the last game). It meant that Woodhouse Grange had two of the top 13 teams in the whole of the YPLN, incredible given the scale of the league. This is the highest level our 2s can play, due to our first team's presence immediately above.
Having two teams in the upper echelons of the league drives strong competition for places, with players pushing for a first team spot. The high standard of the 2s also provides ideal preparation for our most talented young players in their quest to break through to the top level.
Third Team
Our 3rd XI is usually made up of some seasoned performers alongside a cohort of up and coming younger players.
Promoted in 2013 & 2018, the Thirds now play in Division 2 - a good standard of cricket; most opposition being first teams.
Formed in 1994, the 3rd XI played in the York Vale League, winning the Prendergast Cup (1995), Scothern Construction Cup (2003), and Prendergast Memorial Trophy (2005) before joining the York & District Senior Cricket League in 2012.
Fourth Team
The Woodhouse Grange 4th XI plays in Division 3, an ideal standard for youngsters getting their first taste of senior cricket.
The youngsters are usually reinforced by two or three senior cricketers meaning it is a great place to learn more about the game. Very few clubs field four Saturday teams, so we are immensely proud of our 4th XI.
