History

Barnby Dun Cricket Club was founded in 1870 and has been a founder member of a number of local leagues. The club eventually established itself at Parkhill in Barnby Dun where it played for over fifty years until 2002, when the ground was bought by a local developer for use as a golf driving range. We have now moved to Doncaster Road, Kirk Sandall onto the site of the former Pilkington's Recreation Cricket Club, a well known local club. We are currently looking to fund the building of a new pavilion which will support our aim of providing top quality playing facilities for all our young (and not so young!) players.

We run two senior teams, the 1st XI in division two and the 2nd XI now, after promotion, in division five of the Pontefract and District League. We also have a mid-week team in the Doncaster and District Evening League and a Sunday League team in the Barnsley League.

Junior cricket is thriving in our club thanks to the enthusiastic support of our parents and team managers. We have teams at U9, U11, U13, U15 and U17 level with some squads having over 24 players in them! These teams provide a steady supply of youngsters to local representative sides, including some at Yorkshire Schools level, and make us very optimistic about the future of our club.
