About Us

Barrow Town Cricket Club is a friendly village cricket club located in Barrow upon Soar near Loughborough in Leicestershire. The club has both senior and junior sections and has been designated a Focus Club by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in recognition of junior player development over a number of years.

The club is affiliated to the England and Wales Cricket Board, the Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket Board, the Everards Leicestershire League, the Loughborough and District Cricket Association and the Leicestershire Youth Cricket League.

The club is very proud to have attained and held ECB Clubmark status for four year. This award is a benchmark in good practice in club management and child welfare and is assessed every three years by the ECB.

The club ground is located on Nottingham Road in the village and has one of the best playing surfaces in the county. The club also has a clubhouse which is due to have modifications made in 2009 as well as outdoor net facilities.

The club runs two senior sides on Saturdays with the 1st XI playing in the Everards Leicestershire Premier League in 2010 and will want to build on the second place in 2009. The 2nd XI will be playing in Division 5 in 2010 and it is hoped a number of the promising youngsters at the club will play in this team. The club also takes part in the local cup competitions including the Loughborough Charity Cup and the Joe Orton Cup which it won in 2008. The club runs a friendly Sunday XI playing a mixture of senior and promising junior players against other clubs.

The club has a thriving junior section running age group cricket from Under 10 to Under 17 age groups. A number of the youngsters from the club have played representative cricket at both District and County Age Group level. Winter training takes place between September and April with the club using indoor facilities at Soar Valley Leisure Centre in Mountsorrel, Humphrey Perkins School in the village and the ECB Cricket Academy at Loughborough University.
