Harden Cricket Club

Founded before 1850 the club played friendly matches on the Black Bull Field against such teams as Keighley, Bingley, Burnley, Blackburn and local Needle matches with the surrounding village teams.

The club moved to Harden Beck in 1866 and remained there until 1923, after which time they moved several times to, namely Black Bull Field in 1923, back to Harden Beck in 1927 and finally, via Black Bull Field again, to their present ground at Cuckoo Nest in 1935.

We have always encouraged junior cricket with many girls playing over the years. Since reforming the junior section back in 2016 we have had many girls start playing with the club.
We have recently been looking into forming a girls team but since Covid in 2020 many of the girls have unfortunately stopped playing. The club have discussed raising a softball women's section to encourage these girls back to the game.
We are looking for new players to join the ranks ageing from U9s upwards.
