Welcome to Sheffield Cricket Lovers
We are a band of cricket lovers who meet regularly during the ‘close season’ to enjoy speakers and camaraderie with like-minded people. Our aims and objectives are to further interest in, and enthusiasm for cricket, by whatever means possible.
Founded in 1960 by David Drabble and his father, George. The society held its meetings at Bramall Lane, the Friends Meeting House or Victoria Hall in Sheffield City Centre, before moving to Abbeydale Park, Sheffield in 1980.
Since September 2016 all meetings are held at Lees Hall Golf Club, Hemsworth Road, Sheffield S8 8LL.
