About us - Elsecar CC, who were founded in 1854, have a proud tradition and history as one of the leading sides in the South Yorkshire Senior Cricket League for many years. They have been SYSCL champions on a record 18 occasions; they have won the Yorkshire Council championship on five occasions; and they have won the Whitworth Cup on a record ten occasions. Elsecar were promoted to the YSPL for the 2019 season after finishing as runners-up to Tickhill in the SYSCL Championship in 2018. In their first season in the YSPL, inspired by experienced all-rounder Muhammed Saeed Anwar, Elsecar finished in a creditable eighth position. The Armroyd Lane ground has hosted many cup finals over the years, the latest being in 2019, when the club did a first class job of hosting a thrilling 2019 Viking Cup final between Wakefield Thornes and Whitley Hall in a glorious end of season finale.

About us - One of the oldest cricket clubs in the country, Hallam CC’s history can be traced back to 1804, when they first played on their Sandygate ground, currently used by their third and fourth teams. As members of the South Yorkshire Senior Cricket League, Hallam gained a reputation for developing young players, and their teams are predominantly made up of home-grown players. As SYSCL champions in 2016, Hallam gained promotion to the YSPL for the following season, and finished in a very creditable seventh place. They followed this up by becoming YSPL t20 champions in 2018. After a very poor start in 2019, which left the bottom of the table midway through the season, Hallam staged a remarkable recovery, winning six of their last nine games to avoid relegation. Off the field, Hallam moved their first and second teams to the Crimicar Lane ground for 2019 and are now in the planning process for a brand new pavilion to be built on the Crimicar ground.

About us - KCC were reformed in 1954, and played the first match at the current ground at Bence Lane in 1958 as members as the old Denby Grange League. In 1963 the club moved to the Huddersfield Central League where over a ten year period from 1975 to 1985 the 1st XI were Section A champions six times, including four seasons in a row (1982 to 1985), Allsop Cup winners four times, and won the inter-league competition, the Goulder Trophy in 1980. 

As a result of their dominance in the Central League, KCC made a successful application to join the Huddersfield League, a natural step up to the next level, and became the first South Yorkshire club to play in that League. They were members of the Huddersfield League from 1987 to 2010. The 1st XI were losing Sykes Cup Semi Finalists three times, Oddfellows Cup winners once, Section B champions once and runners up once. Conference champions once. The 2nd XI were Section B champions twice, Conference champions once and also reached the Paddock Shield Semi Final once. 

The club joined the South Yorkshire Senior Cricket League in 2011 and honours have included Whitworth Cup winners 2017, Yorkshire Cricket Council finalists 2011 and Mick Savage finalists 2012. The 2nd XI have also been successful as Division 4 West Champions in 2015, and achieved the double of Presidents Cup winners and Division 3 West Champions in 2016. 

In addition to the 1st and 2nd XIs, KCC also have a development team in the Barnsley & District Cricket League, where juniors are given their opportunity to play senior cricket for the first time. The club also has a junior section with teams in the Barnsley & District League, and participate in the ECB All Stars and Dymamos initiatives.
