Hi
Does any one know where N.M.C.C. played or have any info on them. My Dad played for them with his dad and an uncle before the war.

Hi
Only detail given for that wasFred Collins secretary in 1953/4.
By the way, if anyone can get back onto Gale, por get it in their library, some of the results I got on there was regarding cricket. There's at least one Manchester paper on there.
Best wishes

Hi Arthington, just a thought but try Newton Heath Cricket Club.
I know it's a bit off North Manchester but I'm sure I remember one of my rellies playing on there in the North Manchester League at one time.
You never know?????
-
can you give us the names please?
Middleton has North Manchester Golf club so maybe it had a North Manchester cricket club?

Hi
Thanks for all your replies. All I know is the ground was in the Middleton area and has since been built on. I can remember my Dad once saying the club folded during the last war.

There was a Cricket club in Rhodes (Middleton) on broad street that closed in the early 50's and became a Rugby club.
but dont know if it was called North Manchester CC or Rhodes CC
Hope you find what your looking for

Hi Chris
Flying visit again :(
If it's Middleton/Rhodes contact the Library there - they have helped me a few times, and would be your best option.

Middleton Cricket Club was in the Central Manchester League but in this case it is the definition "North Manchester Cricket Club" which could mean a number of places.

In Hannah Haynes & Carl Goldberg book "Images of England - Middleton" it does mention 3 Middleton Cricket clubs
Rhodes CC, Holy Trinity CC & Tonge CC
The only mention of any North Manchester clubs is the Golf Course

I am not sure if this is any help. My husband played in the Central Lancashire League many years ago and remembers just the club mentioned in the above address

Great minds think alike
I emailed them about half hour ago, and got a reply from a Sam Warren - he is going to ask the club members if they know anything about the North Manchester club
