West Hallam White Rose Cricket Club is an amateur cricket club on the southern edge of West Hallam, Derbyshire, England. The club has a history dating back to 1880.[1]

Ground

The home ground is located on The Statham Oval (Cock Orchard) off Cat and Fiddle Lane West Hallam[2] and the ground is rated by the DCCL[3] as a Grade A ground.

History

The origins of the club date to the mid 19th century. Newspaper reports have been found recording cricket matches played by "West Hallam Cricket Club" in the grounds of the Squire Hall, off Cock Orchard in 1851.[1] By 1871, the Hall was demolished and the club had to rent land from a local farmer, whose farm stood on the junction of The Village (street) and School Square. "Hallam White Rose Cricket Club" appeared on record in 1880. The addition of the 'White Rose' is said to be based on the white rose bushes in the gardens of the old Squire Hall. It is not known when the club moved to a recreation ground on Beech Lane, but after the Second World War, the Club played on a field off St. Wilfrid's Road until 1950, when they returned to what became Powtrell Community Pavilion Court on Beech Lane. The Club won the Butterley Cup in 1962, a couple of years before joining the Notts & Derbyshire Border League in 1964 (which is now the Derbyshire County Cricket League); prior to this they mainly focused on playing friendly matches.[1] By 2001, they became Division 1 League Champions[4] and by 2007 they finally moved back to Cock Orchard off the Cat and Fiddle Lane, and officially opened their new home now known as The Statham Oval in 2011.

The Club currently have two senior teams competing in the Derbyshire County Cricket League,[5] a junior training section that play competitive cricket in the Erewash Young Cricketers League[6] and the Club are regulars in the Derbyshire Cricket Board Indoor Competition.[7]
