Cricket on the Green<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n\tWrea Green Cricket Club is a village institution and synonymous with the name and image of Wrea Green. The club was founded in 1905 and a fantastic week of centenary celebrations took place in July 2005. An action-packed week united most of the village with a large marquee erected on the Green to host sell out events.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFamous names to have played for the club in the past include ex-Preston and England football legend Joe McCall (who was the first batsmen to score a century for the club) and more recently, former rugby union star Bill Beaumont OBE.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tNeil Withington has extensively researched the 100 years of cricket in the village and published a book called \u201cWin or Lose, Plenty of Booze\u201d which chronicles some of the key events and characters in the club\u2019s history. This book is available from the club direct or from Silverdell Bookshop in Kirkham.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe senior section runs 3 sides. Matches for the 1st and 2nd XI\u2019s take place on Saturday afternoons from April till September. Matches for the 3rd XI take place on Sunday afternoons from May till September. All home matches are played on the village green.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSenior Net practices are held on the Green every Wednesday during the season, ground permitting. Any new players are always welcome to attend nets practices.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe club has a thriving junior section catering for boys and girls aged from 5 to 17. Practices take place on the Green every Friday night from the beginning of April till the end of August. We are a community club with most of our members from the village or surrounding area. The club competes in the Palace Shield Junior League with teams at Under 11\u2019s, 13\u2019s, 15\u2019s and 17\u2019s as well as having a Kwik Cricket section for those too young to play in the age group sides. Anyone who would like more details should contact Rob Parr or Dave Uphill on the numbers listed below.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe club has a dedicated website at: http:\/\/wreagreen.play-cricket.com<\/a> with a wealth of information.\n<\/p>\n
