***Outdoor nets start this Thursday, April 12th, at 6.30pm*** 

Welcome to the Didsbury Cricket Club Website

 We are a progressive cricket club, based in South Manchester. We have 5 senior men's teams, a women's team and 4 junior teams, from Under 9s to under 15s. Our 1st XI are members of the ECB Cheshire County Premier League. 

The excellence of our junior development and committment to excellent standard is recognised by the award of ClubMark by the ECB. We are also a Focus Club with Lancashire Cricket Board. We continue to invest in quality coaches at both senior and junior level to develop the playing standards of all our cricketers. We are also dedicated to improving our facilities as funding allows, and have taken significant steps this winter with the installation of a new artificial practice wicket on the square, and the purchase of a new outfield mower.

We would like to ask all members to try to contribute what you can in terms of time, committment, ideas, practice, coaching and support as we once again look to take the club forward in 2012.

If you are interested in joining our progressive and friendly club then please contact us on info@didsburycc.com. We are always on the look out for quality and committed cricketers at all levels. Our new Women's team is particularly keen to attract new recruits and as always new junior cricketers are very welcome in readiness for the start of the 2012 season.
