Sefton Park Cricket Club
Sefton Park Cricket Club in south Liverpool, England, was formed in 1860 as Sefton Cricket Club. It hosts the club’s senior, women’s and junior fixtures, and also welcomes Lancashire age-group and junior sides, Liverpool City junior representative games, University of Liverpool cricket and Last Man Stands.
The original ground was on Smithdown Road, next to what is now Langdale Road. Due to development, the club moved to its current ground in the north-east corner of Sefton Park soon after the park opened in 1876. It became Sefton Park Cricket Club in 1998, and in 2003 a second ground with its own pavilion was opened adjacent to the main ground by the Lord Mayor.
The club was a founder member of the Liverpool and District Cricket Competition, which became an ECB Premier League in 2000, and it currently plays in the First Division. Since league fixtures were standardised in 1949, Sefton has won the L&DCC championship in 1967 and 1972, the First Division title in 2000, and the Second Division title in 2013. It also won the Liverpool Echo Knockout in 1978 and reached the Lancashire Knockout final in 1999.
Sefton fields six adult sides (five on Saturdays and one on Sundays) plus an occasional Midweek XI. The junior section has seven sides from Under 9s upwards. Since 2010, Sefton has taken in young players from Barbados on the Lord Gavron Scholarship, a partnership between the Lancashire Cricket Board and Barbados Cricket Association.
Colours: maroon, green and gold. Captain: Paul Horton. Home ground: Croxteth Drive.
