Chorley CC was formed in October 1909 when Chorley Amateurs became
Chorley Town CC and moved to Windsor Park, playing their first match in
the Chorley & District League on 21 May 1910. In 1916 the Club
amalgamated with Chorley West End CC.
The club celebrated its centenary in 2010 with several events including a dinner dance and a
cricket match against a select team of former Chorley players. Chorley
joined the Ribblesdale League in 1919, being runners-up in 1942 and
1950 and became founder members of the Northern League in 1952.
Chorley CC were Lancashire Cup winners in 1992 and National Club
champions in 1994 and 1995 and runners-up in 1996. The club has lifted
the Northern League championship on two occasions, in 1971 and 1980
and were division two champions in 1954.
Chorley’s 2008 professional
Friedel De Wet made his Test debut for South Africa against England in
2009-10. Chorley CC member Tom Smith was awarded his Lancashire
county cap in 2010. After leaving the MCC Young Professionals staff
Gaurav Dhar returns to his club as professional in 2011.
