Cricket was first played in Methley in1867. It
is reported that in those days Methley had two cricket teams,
Methley Moorhouse and Methley Gentlemen, presumably one team
played at Moorhouse and the other team possibly played at the
brickyard field, later the club was to adopt the name of Methley
Victoria. The two fields, it is suspected, were on the flatland
adjacent to the river with the grass cropped probably with the
use of goats or sheep, the brickworks field was certainly near
to the site of the old coal staithe and basin (both these now
obliterated with the realignment of the river).The cricket club
relocated to its present Little Church Lane ground about
1874 and has played in the lee of St Oswalds Church in its
archetypal village setting to the present time.
