Didsbury CC: Cricket in the Village
Didsbury CC play in the Manchester Association Cricket League from their ground in leafy Didsbury village - one of south Manchester's established clubs and welcoming to adult players of all abilities.
Didsbury Cricket Club play from the Didsbury Cricket Ground, which sits within the leafy surrounds of Didsbury village in south Manchester. Didsbury has a strong tradition of amateur sport – the area’s independent character and relatively settled population mean clubs at this level have a base to draw on. The Manchester Association Cricket League provides Saturday fixtures through the summer, and the standard across the league ranges from solid club cricket to near-professional quality in the higher divisions.
The club is open to adult players looking to get into or return to club cricket in south Manchester. All-rounder types tend to find their way in quickly at most clubs at this level, but dedicated batters, bowlers and keepers are always welcome depending on what the squads need. Contact details are on the club’s website or through their social media. The ground at Didsbury is accessible by tram from the city centre – the Didsbury Village stop puts you within easy walking distance, which is a genuine advantage for a sport with afternoon start times that can sometimes make driving the path of least resistance.
