Northowram Fields Cricket Club description
Sports Club - Cricket
Medium (1-150)
Northowram Fields C.C. were formed originally as Northowram St. Matthew’s C.C. in 1907 and linked to the local parish church.
At first, Northowram St. Matthew’s (occasionally referred to as Northowram Parish Church C.C.) played at Shibden Park.
They then moved to a farmer’s field at Only House Farm around 1912, then a field just above the Stocks Arms, which is now a housing estate.
The club originally played in the Halifax & District Church Sunday School League and in 1920 they moved to Westercroft Lane.
To help pay for the move, the club staged a special dance!
Many cricket clubs were affected, fatally, by the coming of the Second World War.
