A club with it's own website !!
It was looking good until........Page One which gave details of the 2017 season.
Blubberhouses are currently playing Nidderdale & District, Division 6
There is some information on the club though.
Blubberhouses Cricket Club was originally formed during the first half of the 19th
Century, between this time and the present day the Club has only occupied four cricket
grounds:
  1. On land belonging to the ‘Gill family’ of Blubberhouses Hall, situated on the opposite
    side of the river Washburn, slightly upstream from the present ground. The ‘Gill Family’
    still have connections with the club.
  2. Between 1904/06 on land near to the Hopper Lane Hotel.
  3. At the rear of the Manor House, (Which stands on the opposite side of the road to
    Blubberhouses Church).
  4. On the present ground, which was originally the site of the West House Flax Mill and below
    the site of the old Skaife Hall.
Towards the end of the 19th century the then occupant of Skaife Hall a Colonel
Galloway improved the ground and held an annual cricket festival, which brought a degree of fame
to the ground and to Blubberhouses, with national and international players taking part,
including the Hon.F.S.Jackson, B.J.T. Bosanquet (the father of the Googly) and George Ulyett.
The Galloway’s became great benefactors to the Cricket Club and eventually
allowed the Club to use the ground. Ownership later passed to the Leeds Corporation and thence to
Yorkshire Water, who are the present day land lords.
Our present ground, below the site of the old Skaife Hall, was improved by the
Galloway family and is believed to have been used around the 1880’s. Col. William Galloway who
as President of the club promoted a annual Cricket Festival with national and international
players taking part, including the Hon. F.S.Jackson who played for Yorkshire between 1890 &
1907, George Ulyett who played for Yorkshire between 1873 & 1893 and B.J.T. Bosanquet the
player responsible for the ‘Googly’.
1992 sparked a memorable year as it commemorated the opening of the new pavilion.
In 2006, the installation of electricity was completed.
The 2008 season saw a new kitchen with cooker installed into the pavilion.
In 2013, thanks to Club President Michael Clipston, the club acquired an electric scoreboard.
