About Us
Over a century of excellence in Manchester cricket
A century of heritage
For over 100 years, Astley & Tyldesley Cricket Club has been a cornerstone of the Greater Manchester cricket scene. Born from a deep love for the game and a strong community spirit, the club has grown through generations of players, supporters, and volunteers.
Across decades of change, one thing has always remained the same. A commitment to sportsmanship, integrity, and enjoyment of the game. We have proudly competed at high levels while staying true to our roots as a friendly, inclusive village club.
Today, we continue to honour our history while looking firmly to the future, nurturing the next generation of cricketers and providing a welcoming environment for players of all ages and abilities.
