Pudsey St Lawrence C C Tofts Rd

A Family Club

A warm welcome to the website of Pudsey St Lawrence Cricket Club, our clubhouse and ground is situated on Tofts Rd in the heart of Pudsey and has a long and rich heritage having been formed in 1845. In that time it has produced many outstanding teams and cricketers, including 2 of Yorkshire and England's greatest players, Herbert Sutcliffe and Sir Leonard Hutton.

The club provides playing opportunities for boys and girls from the age 5 -18, as well as ladies and men’s teams. Our 1st & 2nd XIs compete in the premier divisions of the Bradford cricket league and play their home games at Tofts Rd, with our 3rd team playing in the Dales Council league at Fulneck school. We also enter teams in 20x20 and over 50s competitions.

We have an extensive junior development programme starting with an 8 week All Stars programme for 5-8 year old boys and girls, with boys teams starting at Under 9 and going through to Under 18. Our girls section also run under 11s & 15s teams. All our coaches and volunteers are fully qualified and vetted as part off our commitment to safeguarding in line with our Clubmark status.

The club also provide high quality social facilities (available to hire, details on our function hire page), as well as a busy social calendar throughout the year including Bonfire Night and Xmas events along with live sport on Sky and BT. Our bar provides a full range of drinks from cask marque accredited real ales, lagers, ciders, spirits, soft drinks all at discounted "club prices" for members served by friendly and welcoming bar staff.

Junior Saints

Our junior section is the clubs’ number 1 priority, with many of our senior cricketers having developed from a very young age through our junior programme into our senior teams. Our aim is to provide a positive playing experience for our players, no matter of age, gender or ability, as well as a great social experience for the whole family

Every April we run “signing on” evenings for existing and new Junior Saints who can enrol for the coming season, by becoming family members. (*Our All Stars programme is done separately online). However, we also welcome new cricketers no matter what age or ability, our officials, staff and coaches are available to help sign post new cricketers. So please feel free to ask, as we are more than happy to help.

Girls Cricket

We are presently the only club in West Leeds offering girls only playing and coaching opportunities, having worked closely with our development partners to establish girls cricket in LS28. We offer start up coaching for beginners with our All Stars programme for 5-8 year olds, as well as teams at Under 11 and 15s. We also have a ladies and girls team competing in the newly formed West Yorkshire women’s and girls league.
