The Romany Cricket Club
Founded circa 1902
Playing friendly cricket in Yorkshire and beyond
Welcome to the Romany Cricket Club
We are a nomadic side, based in and around Leeds. We have been playing cricket throughout Yorkshire (and beyond) for well over a hundred years.
Most of our matches are on Sundays, though we do have occasional weekday fixtures and we tour Sussex for a week every two years. We do not play league cricket, although some of our players do play for league clubs on other days. We play in some of the loveliest locations imaginable, from country parks to village greens.
While we play every game to win, our first aim is to enjoy our cricket. We welcome players of all shapes, sizes and talents, whether they want to play one game or twenty games a season. A newspaper cutting from 1946 refers to the revival of the Romany Cricket Club, following the war:
“The members are not concerned about averages. They think more of the game than the result. Type of members: Lawyers, doctors and other professional men.”
There are still lawyers, doctors and other professional men in the club, but the membership extends beyond that. However the team is made up, we strive to uphold the values and traditions on which the Club was founded.
We have a large and diverse membership and are always interested in enquiries from
