History

Netherton Cricket Club was founded in 1866 and had its first sporting fixture in 1867.[1] The club's ground was situated in Lodge Farm at the foot of Netherton Hill. The club's ground moved to its present position further up Netherton Hill in 1879. The land was given to them by the Earl of Dudley. An iron pavilion was constructed at this time. A new Club House was built in 1963 using an old school building.

The club currently runs 3 Saturday teams, 2 Sunday teams and 2 midweek teams for adults.[2]
