The origins of cricket in Clifton can be traced back to 1813, when a diary held by 

one of the few inhabitants who could write, recorded the “playeing of a gayme” 

between 11 of Clifton against 22 of Nottingham over “two notches” and many bets 

laid. 

The first formal records of the Club commence in 1884, which are still retained, 

and record details such as an altercation with a Ferryman that left the Team 

stranded in Attenborough for a few days. 

Despite very humble origins, the Club has managed to produce some famous 

cricket sons, the most famous of all being Harold Butler, who toured the West Indies 

with England, and would surely have played more than 2 tests had the Second 

World War not intervened.

1994 saw the Club expand in size and move to its current ground on the 

University Campus, with this came an influx of players, and in 1999 the Club won 

both the South Notts Cricket League at the first attempt, and were the first village 

side ever to be crowned Champion of Champions. 

The clubs finest hour surely came in 2009 when they became Champions of the 

NCB Premier League. To follow this up with a second and third title in 2010 and 

2011 was a remarkable achievement with Liam Andrews once again winning 

All-rounder of the Year.

Established in 1897 Cuckney Cricket Club is situated in the heart of Sherwood 

Forest. It has come from being a local village club with limited facilities and a 

small membership developing into one of North Nottinghamshire’s finest and most 

attractive cricket clubs. Our principles remain the same: 

“We love the winning, we can take the losing, but most of all we LOVE to play!!” 

In 1998 after a lot of hard work by the committee and its members, a new pavilion 

opened which marked the clubs centenary year. The pavilion offered great facilities 

and a much needed function room. Once again after lots of commitment, significant 

fund raising and a vision in place, Cuckney opened its purpose built, all 

year round cricket centre in 2002. The club is now able to host its own and public 

social functions in both its extensive bar area and the cricket centre.

The Club was founded by members of the Kimberley Literary Institute which was 

established in the early 1800s to share the cost of heavily taxed newspapers 

and books. When the Great Northern Railway came to the town in the late 

1870s the Institute left its Reading Room, near the station, for premises at 18 

Main Street. It is around this time that the cricket club was formed. By 1884 a 

Second Team is recorded and by 1905 a Wednesday Eleven. Only friendlies 

were played until joining the Ilkeston and District League in 1909. Following a 

meeting in the town’s Lord Clyde pub in 1919 the Notts and Derby Border 

League was formed and the Club became a founder member. £400 was raised 

in 1950 to allow the Club to purchase the ground on which it had always played, 

from the estate of Dr. G. Northwood. From 1956 to 1978 the 1st XI played in the 

Amateur League and from 1979 to 1998 in the Gunn & Moore Alliance. During 

these periods the playing record of both 1st and 2nd XIs was second to none. 

Kimberley Institute was a founder member of the Notts Premier League, has 

remained a member ever since and won the title in 2000. 

The Club is Clubmarked, a Focus Club and a Chance to Shine Club.

Club Details - Kimberley Institute CC 

Over the years Saturday 3rd and 4th Teams have been added to provide 

opportunities for players of all abilities and a pathway for the development of 

talented youngsters. Dedicated volunteer effort has resulted in major 

improvements to Club facilities in recent years. The club’s main ambition is to 

replace its aged wooden pavilion. 

Youth Cricket: 

In the Nottingham Youth Cricket League the Club has teams at U17, U15, U14, 

U13, U12, U11, and U10 plus two Kwik Cricket teams.

The Club was founded in 1947 and comprised of hosiery knitters from within the 

works, playing friendly cricket until 1953 when it joined the Mansfield and District 

League. In 1972 the Club celebrated its Silver Anniversary by winning the Knock 

Out Cup and Hospital Cup. In 1984 after 30 years of success within the Mansfield 

and District League the Club joined the Bassetlaw League. In 2001 the Club 

relocated from its former ground at Kings Mill to set up its home at The Fieldings 

in Sutton In Ashfield. 2004 proved to be a most memorable season in the Club’s 

history as its first team secured promotion to the Nottinghamshire Premier League 

as Champions of the Bassetlaw League and runners up in both the Harry Tomlins 

Trophy and Champion of Champions, promotion for the second team and Sunday 

Knock Out Cup winners. In 2007 as part of its Diamond Anniversary celebrations 

the Club played an inaugural fixture against an MCC XI and a similar fixture is 

planned for 2011. Now an established Nottinghamshire Premier League team during 

2010 it entered ,for the first time, the ECB National KO competition and lifted 

the Derbyshire Cup. 

The Club is justifiably proud of its family friendly philosophy and is a Focus Club 

and Clubmark accredited; having been reaccredited during 2009. Additionally it 

was one of only three local clubs chosen to pilot the ECB Chance to Shine 

initiative.

Club Details - Mansfield Hosiery Mills CC 

Its main ground at The Fieldings is well appointed with a modern purpose built 

clubhouse. The Clubhouse offers a warm family friendly atmosphere with a club 

room and bar and a separate function room for every occasion. The external patio 

area provides an ideal vantage point to watch the cricket on sunny summer 

evenings. Furthermore the Clubhouse’s facilities provide changing rooms, official’s 

rooms, two fully equipped indoor nets, two bowling machines and video 

equipment. Outdoors adjacent to the first team pitch are two outdoors nets and a 

moveable training net. The third and fourth teams play their home matches at 

Kingsway Park in Kirby In Ashfield. 

Youth Cricket 

The Club is justifiably proud of its youth development policy with Kwik cricket 

teams as well as juniors at U11, U13, U15 and U17 age groups playing in the 

Mansfield and District Junior Cricket League. Many of the juniors participate in 

the District, County and Regional representative sides. Currently the Club has 

player who has represented the Midlands player and is also a member of the 

Nottinghamshire CCC Academy. Approximately 50% of the Club’s senior sides 

are current or former members of the Club’s junior set up. 

2007 was a particularly successful year for the Club’s junior sides. Most notably 

the U15’s who participated in the Portman Cup competition (a national knock out 

cup for clubs). They became the most successful Nottinghamshire Club ever and 

reached the national finals before losing to Tunbridge Wells in the semi final. To 

reach the last four with over 1700 entrants was a major achievement and a just 

reward for the efforts of the juniors involved and due recognition for the efforts 

over many years of the Clubs many qualified coaches. This team’s success was 

recognised locally when they were awarded the 2008 “Team of the Year” in 

Ashfield District Councils “Best In Ashfield” annual awards.

When Jake Ball took his first Notts wicket in the NatWest Pro40 game against 

Sussex Sharks in September, many would be forgiven for asking; where did he 

come from? 

Thrust into the limelight as the Outlaws’ season drew to a close, Ball was joined 

by fellow academy player Ben McGuire in making his debut in professional cricket 

last season. 

Picked to gain experience rather than influence results, their arrival highlights a 

significant shift in policy at Trent Bridge to accelerate the development of talented 

players in the club’s academy system. 

Although their debuts were low key, they were the culmination of several years of 

intensive nurture in an academy system which is now bearing fruit.

Club Details - Notts Academy 

“Recruitment is always going to be a big part of putting together a competitive first 

team squad but the academy has always been the other option and the aim of all 

of the work that we do is to make it an attractive option,” said Chris Tolley, the 

former Nottinghamshire and Worcestershire all-rounder who heads up the 

Academy at Trent Bridge. 

The talent of the current crop was underlined with a comfortable run to the 

Bassetlaw League Championship in 2009 and having spent a season 

together in league cricket, Notts Academy are nicely placed continue their 

credible challenge in the Notts Premier League. Notable performances for came 

for S Kelsall and A Patel scoring over 500 runs in the season and A Shepherd 

taking 28 wickets. One of their most notable games of 2010 was their winning 

draw against the W.I. Cavaliers. 

Youth Cricket 

The Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club Academy helps talented young 

cricketers to progress towards careers in professional cricket with notable 

graduates including Jenny Gunn, Bilal Shafayat, Ian Saxelby and Samit Patel. 

County trials give players an opportunity to force their way into the 

Nottinghamshire Cricket Board representative teams which run from 

under 11s to under 17s.

Although formed in 1895, there is evidence of a match between Papplewick and 

Bulwell played at the Seven Mile House in 1805. The club played friendly 

matches until 1982 when they joined the South Notts Village League, and in 1996 

the Bassetlaw and District Cricket League. Although we have played at other 

venues, Papplewick Hall ground is our home and is owned in the name of the 

Club’s Trustees. Very few records exist of the Club’s early years. 

In 2012 On a Saturday, the 1st XI will play in the Nottinghamshire Premier 

League, the 2nd XI in South Forest Leisure Division 2 of the Bassetlaw and 

District Cricket League and the 3rd XI (playing at Burntstump Country Park) in

women’s cricket, Plumtree provides a full range of facilities and since 2011 has 

been the south Nottinghamshire hub for disability cricket and the home of the 

Nottinghamshire Visually Impaired Cricket Club. 

Plumtree also has a thriving and developing women’s team who compete in the 

Women’s Midlands League.

References have been found to cricket being played in Wollaton from the early 

1800s. Lord Middleton allowed his agent, William Wright, to lay out the current 

ground in the early 1880s (then only 4.5 acres). A 99 year lease was obtained by 

William Wright who later became Secretary, Treasurer and President of the Nottinghamshire 

County CC. His contacts with Notts led to many of their players 

turning out at Wollaton when not on County duty. The Club was a one man band, 

but upon Wright’s death, a committee was formed and the Club was run on more 

communal lines. After the Second World War there was pressure to sell the 

recreational area as building land. Negotiations with Lord Middleton culminated in 

a public meeting in 1949 to discuss raising funds. A discount of £600 was offered 

to save the ground and on 1st September 1949 the ground, plus additional fields 

(6.5 acres in total), were purchased for £2,052. In 1951 the current square was 

prepared and first used and in 1952 the clubhouse was moved from the Co-op 

ground.

Club Details - Wollaton CC 

In 1972 Wollaton became one of the founder clubs of the Nottinghamshire Club 

Cricket Alliance. In 1999 the club became one of the founder members of the Nottinghamshire 

Premier League and is one of only four clubs to be an ever-present 

of the League. Wollaton is an ECB Focus Club with Club Mark Accreditation. A 

two bay training net facility along with new wicket covers and ground machinery 

are some of the developments over the last few years. In 2010 a new electronic 

scoreboard was constructed and brought into service. The Club has planning permission 

and approved plans for a new pavilion. Some funding has been obtained 

and further funding is being sought. Wollaton CC has in excess of 200 junior 

members including a thriving girls section with qualified coaches at all levels. We 

have established links with local schools, in particular with Fernwood Comprehensive 

School and Middleton Primary School. A Chance to Shine project is being 

launched in 2012. Age groups range from Kwik Cricket for 5 – 9 years and hardball

ground. 

Initially only maintaining the one team at the outset, the club now has three 

Saturday senior teams, with the 3rd team being a development team for the more 

promising junior members. 

The club has hosted many county games for Nottinghamshire, generally against 

Yorkshire in which several international players have graced the town’s ground, 

with Sir Vivian Richards being one of the visitors. 

The ground has undergone major alterations during its existence to accommodate 

county matches, with the old wooden pavilion being demolished in the late 1970’s 

to allow the club to expand. There have also been several changes to the playing 

area, sharing the ground with the local football team up to the early 1980’s but 

from then on being solely used as a cricket ground, with further two bowls and 

squash sections completing the club membership..
