New Farnley Cricket Club was established in 1952 and is based at the Barry Jackson Ground on Lawns Lane in New Farnley Village, Leeds. The club originates from humble surroundings having played much of its life in Farnley Park in the Dales Council League. Over recent history the club moved to the Central Yorkshire League before this was disbanded and formed part of the Bradford Premier League. With the club ‘moving up in the ranks’, off field ambitions were matched. This resulted in the move to Lawns Lane which is the current home of NFCC. The cricket club supports a 1st XI, 2nd XI and 3rd XI senior teams, an academy side and junior cricket and also junior age group teams from U9s to U15’s. Our junior teams play in the Heavy Woollen Junior Cricket League.
2017 saw a shift in emphasis as a cricket club with an operational model instilled giving the club a focus and a five-year plan to add sustainability to all aspects of the club both on and off the field. On field success came instantaneously with the 1st team winning the Priestley Cup for the first time in their history. Adding to this success, the 2nd XI went on to win the 2nd XI Premier League. Off the field, the club saw a major revamp to the pavilion. The club kitchen and bar/lounge area underwent a massive refurbishment in January 2017 which doubled the capacity and the club has various social functions on throughout the year. Not only this, but the club is also now a fully functioning restaurant and café during the day and evenings.
In 2018 the club saw some major changes in the playing squads however this did result in progression in the league finishing 2nd having missed out to Pudsey St. Lawrence CC. the 1st XI also reached the Heavy Woollen Cup final but lost in a close encounter to Hanging Heaton. The 2nd team continued to develop and saw more integration of youth into the squad which allowed for the team to act as a feeder to the 1st team, something that hadn’t happened in previous years. With a huge emphasis OUR HISTORY now being put on internal development, the club appointed a junior coach in Mark Lawson which is a major coup for the club.
2019 saw more changes to the playing XI’s with more youth integrated into both the 1st XIs and 2nd XIs. The 1sts suffered early season injuries which meant they didn’t have the fire power to launch an attack on the title but did reach the Priestley Cup Final which resulted in an unfortunate loss. Meanwhile, the 2nd XI continued to blood youngsters securing the clubs long term future.
2020 was still a successful one for the club despite unexpected hurdles in COVID-19 and an arson attack on the club house. The new state of the art pavilion in the south side of the ground was erected providing the highest quality of facilities for the next generation of New Farnley cricketers and the community. The club also acted to quickly to address the damage caused to the clubhouse by restoring the facilities. We will forever be grateful to the generosity and support given by the local community, which helped get the club back on its feet quickly.
2021 was a successful year for the club with the 1st XI finishing 3rd in league and winning both the Heavy Woollen Cup and the Priestley Cup. The club saw the introduction of the 3rd XI which saw the transition of more juniors into the club and into senior cricket.
In 2022 we celebrated our 70th year by hosting the Heavy Woollen Cup Final and Priestley Cup Final which the 1st XI defended in two classic encounters making it back-to-back victories ensuring that the trophies are once again returning to Lawns Lane. Woodlands just pipped us to the Bradford Premier League title by 19 points while our 2nd XI and 3rd XI finished third in their respective leagues.
With 2023 just around the corner, it will be an exciting time with more development to the ground. Hopefully, all teams will have another successful summer as we look to continue to develop the club moving forward by booking more events and hosting our annual Christmas Walk & Festivities with all monies raised going towards the Andrew Kemp Defibrillator Fund and our Junior Section.
It’s a great time to be a junior at New Farnley Cricket Club. We’ve put in a lot of hard work over the last few years to ensure that all our junior members have access to the very best equipment, facilities and coaching. With a huge emphasis and a push for the club to produce home grown talent, the club acted quickly in hiring the best junior coach in the local area.
Mark Lawson (former Yorkshire and England under 19s professional cricketer) takes the lead of our junior section and is ably supported by a group of very dedicated coaches which will be the foundation for our club moving forward. With such emphasis on increasing the number of juniors the club have plans in place to increase the number of teams and improve the facilities at hand. All the above costs and as such there are sponsorship packages designed to purely raised funds for the junior section.
Club House – The newly refurbed club house has plenty of space for signage which can be viewed from the roadside giving your brand an abundance of exposure throughout the year. The club & café remains open all year-round increasing exposure than that of other sporting clubs in the local area.
New Pavilion – The club has recently built a new state of the art pavilion in the south side of the ground. This will enhance the club further with the increased opportunity to now host local finals and county 2nd XI cricket giving your brand increased exposure in the immediate future and the coming years.
Around The Ground – There are several locations around the ground that would offer great exposure for your company, from the scorebox, front of the pavilion to the boundary boards.
Road Side – NFCC is situated just off Lawns Lane in the heart of the village. Lawns Lane provides access to nearing villages and is the main road to pass through New Farnley.
