Dunstable Town Cricket Club

Dunstable Town Cricket Club was officially founded in 1891, although during our research into it's history, records were found of matches played before that date. In it's early years the Club lived a somewhat 'nomadic' existence in that it did not have ground of it's own. Various local businesses, Cross Paperware and Bagshaw's were two who leased or rented their facilities to the Club at weekends.

Thanks to those members who have joined already; your support of the Club is very much appreciated. In the last 10 years we have paid out over 16,300 in prizes and raised the same amount for the Club. This money has been used to provide new and updated facilities at the Clubhouse. We still have some way to go to get to the target of 100 members, but as the number of memberships increases, so will the prize money and fundraising for the Club.

For many years our junior section has been the pride of our club, with a large, diverse membership of boys and girls from ages 4 - 15. The vast majority of our junior players go on to represent the club at senior level, as well as playing for age group County sides.

Several of our most successful junior players have progressed on to play profssional cricket, including Tim Robinson (Nottinghamshire & England), Monty Panesar (major Counties & England), and Robbie Keogh (Northamptonshire).We have built such a successful junior section based on excellent coaching which encourages player development through our key values.

The Lancot Trophies is our Annual competition for under 10's and u 12's played on a Sunday in late June or early July. We invite clubs from Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire to enter teams and we have 2 leagues of 5 sides in each age group. The first tournament was held in 2006, and it is as popular as ever.

Voted the best facilities in the Herts League and Beds League for many years, here's your chance to share in that success. We can offer the chance for you and your business to create a great opening partnership with the leading cricket club in Bedfordshire and the Chilterns. In addition to 7 senior sides at weekends, we run a wide variety of cricket sides for young players in different age groups.
