2008 saw the merger of 2 local clubs, Tong Park CC and Esholt CC, to form one. This decision was made to secure the futures of both clubs and resulted in a shift in focus from paying players to encouraging and developing local talent and youngsters who want to feel part of an open and friendly club.
We now run 3 senior sides playing on a Saturday, 2 in the Aire Wharf League playing from our main ground on Esholt Lane and our 3rd XI playing their home games at the picturesque Tong Park ground next to Tong Park Dam in the Dales Council League. We are in a transitional phase as our older players make way, we look to bring in young players in their place as well as promoting talent from our youth sides.

After a very successful 2014 which saw our Under 11s lift the league cup, we expanded our junior section to 3 sides with an Under 15s started up to run alongside our Under 11s and 13s. In fact we have had 5 Under 15s playing regularly in our 2nd and 3rd XIs in 2016 encouraging development throughout the club. The success is largely due to the excellent coaching provided by one of our 1st XI players AJ Weerapulli who has established himself as a well-respected youth coach in the area working with local schools and running coaching sessions for youngsters of all ages.
This season moved into the Junior Bradford League to reduce travel for the juniors, their families and supporters – making it easier for even more young local talent to get involved.
The club has recently achieved the highly regarded ECB Clubmark accreditation and aims to provide opportunities, through cricket, for all ages and abilities. This is proving increasingly popular with the local community and we have recently established a link with Hoyle Court Primary School in Baildon to provide cricket coaching for it's pupils.

Boxing Day 2015 saw the club devastated by unprecedented flooding causing widespread damage to not only the field but also the pavilion including stewards living accommodation, changing rooms, cricket equipment, walls and fencing and ground maintenance equipment. The club incurred costs in the region of £50,000. We sought help from the ECB and Sport England and set about rebuilding our proud community club. We have hosted a number of fund-raising events but still need funds as we look to improve our facilities and make us a bigger and better club than prior to the flooding.
We need your help.
