BRIEF HISTORY
The Club was formed in 1884 as Moorlands Methodist
Church Cricket Club. It played in the Sunday School League,
on a field owned by local Mill owner Sam Fenton.
When The Dewsbury and District Cricket League was formed in
1911, Moorlands C.C. was one of the founder members.
The Club played for many years on a sloping field on Church
Lane, Dewsbury Moor.
When this was sold for housing it moved to a Corporation
field at Sands Lane Dewsbury. This was home to the Club
until 1986 when the Club moved to its present ground at
Memorial Park Mirfield.
The Club applied to join The Huddersfield Central Cricket
League in 1987 and was accepted for the 1988 season.
In 1996 work was started in preparing a Lottery Application
and after much hard work a Grant of £75,000 was obtained.
The total cost of the project being around £120,000. Work
started at the end of the 1997 season and was completed in
time for the beginning of the 1998 season. The Club can now
boast some of the best facilities in the League.
1991 was a particularly successful year, thanks in part to a
successful Junior policy. |
