Ben Rhydding Cricket Club

Welcome to Ben Rhydding Cricket club, a family club that has been a cherished part of the Ben Rhydding and Ilkley community since its establishment in 1921. We take great pride in offering cricket opportunities to individuals of all ages, genders, and skill levels.

Our 1st and 2nd XI teams are esteemed participants in the Theakston Nidderdale and District Amateur Cricket League. With their remarkable skills and unwavering commitment, they represent the values and spirit of our club.

At Ben Rhydding Cricket Club, we understand the importance of nurturing young talent. Therefore, we have established a comprehensive junior section comprising four age groups. To ensure the development of our young cricketers, we employ coaches who possess the prestigious ECB Level 2 qualification. These exceptional coaches dedicate their time and expertise to help our junior members hone their skills and reach their full potential.

In recent years, we have made substantial investments into the enhancement of our facilities. Our state-of-the-art three-track nets facility provides our members with a perfect environment to refine their techniques. Additionally, we have acquired roll-on covers and an electronic scoreboard, both of which have significantly elevated the quality of our games. None of these improvements would have been possible without the generous contributions from our members through club fundraising, grants, sponsorship, and their own hard work.

At Ben Rhydding Cricket Club, we are more than just a sports club. We are a supportive community that fosters a sense of belonging and camaraderie among our members. Whether you're a seasoned cricketer or a novice just starting out, you will find a warm and welcoming atmosphere at our club.
