Welcome to Grange Cricket Club
Founded in 1832, the Grange Cricket Club is one of Scotland’s leading cricket clubs. Our picturesque ground is located in the Stockbridge area of central Edinburgh and regularly hosts Scotland's international matches. In 2012, Scotland will play England on Sunday 12th August and there will also be four matches at Grange against English counties in the CB40 competition.
Our aim is to attract club players of all ages and all standards. Sponsored by Barclays Wealth, we have three weekend league sides and the 1st XI has won the Scottish national league in three of the last six years. The 2nd XI and 3rd XI play in Divisions 1 and 3 of the East of Scotland leagues. In addition to various cup competitions, there are also regular friendly fixtures, usually played on Sundays. Senior outdoor cricket practice takes place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from mid-April through to early September, but club members can use the artificial net facilities at any time in the summer. As well as a new coaching team for 2012, a number of our players have represented Scotland at senior or junior level and their experience is of great benefit.
A highlight of recent years has been the growth and achievements of our junior section, now with 160 members. Grange are the current holders of the national cup competitions at under 13, under 15 and under 18 age groups. We offer regular coaching from the age of five (initially using the Kwik Cricket format) for both boys and girls, and junior teams start at under 10.
The all-inclusive subscription (payable by direct debit) also allows Grange members to become part of a wider sports and social club that can be used throughout the year. With a fully-staffed modern bar and club rooms, the historic pavilion is an ideal meeting place. For a small additional fee, members can also play tennis, squash and hockey.
If you are looking to play cricket, or put something back into the game you have enjoyed playing, then please make contact.
