Barnton Cricket Club owes its origins to a splendidly-bearded clergyman by the name of the Reverend Samuel Lancaster Laidman. It was he who founded the club in 1880, during his time as Vicar of Christ Church, Barnton. Its chief patron in the early days was the local 'squire', Mr A. Smith-Barry Esq., who had provided villagers with facilities to play organised cricket in the grounds of his stately home, Marbury Hall, as early as 1862.
Barnton Cricket Club Sponsors are many and varied, some amazing business and charities. Without them we wouldn't be here and we are constantly grateful for all their help and continued support. Our main club sponsor is Molson Coors Brewery. It is steeped in History, tracing its roots back to 1774 when William Worthington and William Bass began brewing in Burton On Trent.
Under the leadership of section Chairman Simon Hancock the clubs aim is for the players to enjoy the game, this is evident with 3 senior teams playing over the weekend and 5 junior teams playing mid week. Section membership is on the increase across the board, a sign that the section are doing things correctly and in the right spirit.
The Squash Section boasts two private centrally-heated courts, open to members only, which can be considered to be the best-maintained in the county. The court walls have been recently replastered and the floors on both courts were replaced only recently. The section fields four mens and two ladies teams competing in the North West Counties Squash League (nwcsl.org).

The food was great as usual but as regards of people not mixing with other households that went out of the window. My friend booked 2 separate tables for us 4 as we were from different households but when we got there , there was a group of men together then 3 lads came in no face masks and lots of other people arrived and sat in groups!

Invited by a colleague for a few games of squash I found myself in Barnton, Cheshire, one grey and chilly Sunday.
It's an unusual place to visit, with 60s, 70s and 90s housing estates nestled inbetween 18th century farmhouses, all surrounded by lovely countryside.
Barnton Cricket Club is somewhat hidden down a short track, but it opens out to a gorgeous view of the Cheshire 'plains' and I reckon it would be lovely to sit out watching the locals play cricket in the summer.
The two squash courts there are well maintained (Barnton have their own team and play in a NW league so membership
