Welcome to Barnby Dun Cricket Club

Barnby Dun Cricket Club was formed in 1870 and has been a founder member of local cricket leagues over a number of years. Famous former players include Johnny Wardle, the ex-England spin bowler, and the club has consistently produced a steady supply of young cricketers to the Yorkshire schoolboy and representative teams in recent years. Junior cricket is thriving in the club with teams at U11, U13, U15 and U17 levels providing opportunities for over 70 youngsters. The club also runs 2 senior teams on Saturdays in the Pontefract League, a Sunday league team at the weekend and also a mid-week team. The wicket and outfield have been much improved over the last few years, thanks to the excellent work by our award winning groundsman Bill Barnes, comparing favourably with any in the area, and the ground has tremendous potential for future development. We are currently working with the Parish Council to develop a much needed new changing facility on the ground which will provide up to date changing rooms with hot showers and a comfortable and clean social room for the traditional teas.
