Welcome to Walshaw Sports Club

About Walshaw Sports Club

In 1965 the village Cricket team and the football team merged and Walshaw Sports Club was formed. They secured a long lease on the present Sycamore Road ground and the members worked tirelessly to construct the new Clubhouse facilities and create a first class Cricket & Football venue on what was once rough grazing land.

The late 1960’s and early 1970’s saw many improvements to the facilities as the dedicated band of players and members set their sights on establishing a Sports Club that would not only be the pride of the village but would bring enjoyment to members and players for many years to come.
The all-weather floodlit 5-a-side facility was opened in 2003.

The Club has gone from strength to strength and there are now four Senior Football teams as well as 14 junior teams with three Senior Cricket teams and six junior teams. In 2005 Walshaw decided to take a step up into the Manchester league and in their first season won the Murray Shield which they successfully retained in the following year. Since winning promotion to the Premier Division in 2007 they have continued to improve and won the Gilgryst Cup in 2010 and further success in recent years.
