Ockbrook & Borrowash Cricket Club is an amateur cricket club based in Ockbrook, Derbyshire, England. The club has a history dating back to the mid 19th century. [1]
The home ground is located on Victoria Avenue in Ockbrook, Derbyshire [2] and has two pitches, an all-weather pitch and a two lane, all-weather net facility. [3] The 1st and 2nd XI teams use the Victoria Avenue pitch, rated by the DCCL as a Grade A+ ground, and the 3rd and 4th XI use the pitch in the field behind the pavilion, rated as a Grade A ground. [4]
History of cricket in the village of Ockbrook dates back to the mid nineteenth century, where a match report was recorded between Ockbrook and "Sawley Club" in the Derby and Chesterfield Reporter on 27 October 1843. [2] However, the official club records state the establishment of Ockbrook & Borrowash CC to be 1850. It is not clear where the original club ground was, but by 1898, the club acquired the use of the present ground on land adjoining the Queens Head off Victoria Avenue, the same year the club joined the Sandiacre and Ilkeston District league. [5] During the 1950s and 60s, concerted efforts were made to improve the ground facilities and the image and fortunes of the club began to steadily improve. The club won the Butterly Cup in 1972, its first trophy for many years. Shortly afterwards, the club entered the Derby and District League, doing well enough to enter Division 1 in 1974, and becoming Div 1 runner-up and League Cup winners in 1974; Div 1 winners in 1975; Div 1 winners and League cup runner-up in 1976. In the early 1980s the old pavilion was damaged by fire, resulting in a new pavilion opening in 1985. In 1999, Ockbrook & Borrowash CC became the first champions of the newly formed Premier Division of the Derbyshire County Cricket League. After subsequent improvements to the ground, gaining a Grade A rating, the adjoining ground behind the pavilion was added in 2002. The pavilion was extended in 2004, followed by the addition of a scorebox in 2008. [5] [1]
The club currently has 4 senior teams competing in the Derbyshire County Cricket League and a long established and very successful junior training section that play competitive cricket in the Erewash Young Cricketers League. [6]
