Paddock Cricket Club was formed in 1872 by a group of men from the local Methodist church. Initially, the club, known as Paddock Rangers, played rugby and football, however, soon introduced cricket to their sporting programme.
Due to the unsuitability of the ground where they were formed, the club moved to its current home at West View Rise in 1882 after the then Club Secretary, David Lea, signed a £13 lease agreement.
The move signalled a new start for the club and with time to develop, it started to progress on the field, joining the Huddersfield Combination League in 1895 although it later switched to the Huddersfield Alliance League and then the Huddersfield and District League as the structure within the district changed.
It took just two years for the club to obtain their first taste of success, winning the Lumb Cup in 1897 in front of 2,000 people at Golcar.
