The Vision
The Vision
The new sports ground as it is envisaged will be a total community facility for all ages, male and female no matter what their chosen sport is and no matter what standard of play they wish to achieve. Everyone will be made welcome !!
At this stage junior and senior football clubs have been catered for and junior and senior cricket similarly but this is by no means the limit to the aspirations we have. For instance, a suggestion has been made that the Pavilion could be used as a centre for Table Tennis, this is being taken seriously and the incorporation of this is being taken into future plans. Netball and Tennis is another priority and we will work towards it’s provision in the future.

Abbots Bromley Cricket Club
ABCC was founded in 1881 and, with the exception of the years of the Great War, has continuously played the game in the village to this day. We are delighted to join the Abbots Bromley Sports Association and be able to play cricket on a newly established purpose-built cricket pitch.
ABCC’s Aim
Our club encourages cricket for all ages and capabilities.
We offer professional coaching to all our players, particularly juniors, and we continue to develop its coaching credentials from within.
Our main aim is for everyone involved, whether our team or the oppositions team, whether playing, spectating or participating in whatever way, to enjoy themselves.
The Club thrives in the community and raises funds to sustain itself as well staging charity events to work alongside other village organisations:
Latest News - During 2025/26 we are raising funds for a new ECB approved 2 Lane Cricket Net facility which we plan to have ready for the start of the 2026 season.
Get Involved – We are always looking for new players and volunteers to enjoy cricket at ABCC. Please see links below.
Cricket Teams
Abbots Bromley CC will have its first eleven in the 2nd Division of the Derbyshire League, for the 2026 season after achieving back to back promotions from Division 4.
Our 2nd team is developing our youngsters to have a first taste of senior league cricket in Division 10.
In addition the 1st XI won the DCCL Bayleigh T20 Cup in August 2025 at the home of Derbyshire County Cricket Club in Derby under lights and supported by over 100 local supporters.
The senior teams play on Saturdays from mid-April through to September, with indoor net training through the winter.
All Stars
Our All Stars program is increasingly popular for parents who would like to offer their children a fun introduction to cricket.
We welcome new players, girls and boys of all ages and abilities and we aspire to increase our club membership and in turn the number of teams at junior and senior level.
Please get in touch with us via Facebook or through the website.
Development Plan
Following considerable successes both on and off the field, a Development Plan was created to ensure our sustainability as a club, to realise our social and community responsibilities and to provide the opportunity for senior and juniors to play sport.
Our new ground provides superb facilities and will cement the foundations for cricket in Abbots Bromley for at least another one hundred years.
