A strong, vibrant family club at the heart of the local community playing in the Cheshire County Cricket League with 7 senior sides and juniors from Under 9s

Joined March 2012
We would like to wish @TranmereRovers all the best for the play off final on Saturday. We can't be there due to our own match commitments, however, we do seem to have a few players unavailable with mysterious injuries?.

An emotional final day for two stalwarts of the Cheshire cricket scene. Each played with fire and flair; each umpired with integrity and humour, instinctively understanding how the game needs to be respected, but allowed to thrive and evolve. Schooled in the green and gold.

We like to plan ahead and have secured the signing of our overseas player for the 2039 season. Welcome to the UCC family Hudson Sariman. Snags has described the birth a bit like his batting - painful at the start but once into the rhythm it was a joy to watch! @NatSariman
