Heaton Mersey CC: Stockport Club Cricket

Heaton Mersey Cricket Club play from a ground off Didsbury Road in the Heaton Mersey area of Stockport, one of the stretches of the Mersey Valley where south Manchester and Stockport blend into each other. The Stockport and District Cricket League is the competition they play in through the summer months – a well-organised local league providing Saturday fixtures against clubs from across the Stockport area and into east Cheshire. The standard is genuinely competitive, with several clubs in the league drawing from strong local catchments.

Heaton Mersey CC are an established club rather than a newcomer, which means a functioning committee, organised training nights, and the kind of institutional knowledge that keeps a cricket club running when the volunteers who set it up move on. For players living in the Stockport, Didsbury or Cheadle areas who want Saturday league cricket without the commute, the club is worth contacting ahead of the season. The ground is accessible by bus from Stockport town centre and from the Didsbury direction, and the setting in the Heaton Mersey area is one of the more pleasant in the local league.
