Stand Cricket Club, were established in 1853, and we are located on the fringes of the town centre in Whitefield, Bury between Hamilton Road and Higher Lane.
The Club were founder members of the North Western Cricket league which formed into the Lancashire and Cheshire Cricket League until 1992 when they became a member of the Central Lancashire League between 1993 and 2004 in which Stand CC had limited success (highest position 4th 1995), moved into the Lancashire County League for the 2005 season.
Since joining the LCL the club have won the Walkden Cup (2008), the Hulme Trophy (2009), the 2nd XI Last Six Competition (2010) and the 3rd XI League, the Bryden Trophy (2006, 2007, 2008).Â

First Class players have included Warren Hegg of Lancashire County Cricket Club and England, Norman McVicker of Warwickshire CC and Leicestershire CC Hugh Milling of Ireland.
Stand Cricket Club has been long been a favourite venue for private functions and corporate events. The clubhouse over looks the cricket pitch and is surrounded by protected trees giving the venue lovely outdoor space.
This can make a real difference, whether you’re organising a team building day or a birthday celebration.
Just moments from the M60 and the Metrolink, we’re easy to reach and find – which is just one reason why we’re such a popular venue.

It takes real commitment and passion from our team of volunteers to run a cricket club. You’ll see it on the pitch and in the function room. You’ll also see it in every member of the team…
