They are a small, friendly cricket club located in the village of Warton, near Carnforth. The club was founded in 1907 and has a long and proud history of cricket in the local community.
Their ground, located in the heart of the village, is a beautiful setting for cricket, surrounded by trees and rolling hills. The facilities include a pavilion and a well-maintained square.
They currently have one senior men’s team, that compete in Division 1 of the Westmorland League. They also have 70 children who participate in All Stars & Dynamos (ECB Programmes) and run U9 and U11 sides in the local junior leagues.
The club's committee had already identified the need of a defibrillator at the club. There are three located in Warton village but given the the club is situated at the bottom of Borwick Lane, it was thought they would be better off with one installed on site. This was reinforced when a couple of the committee members undertook first aid training ahead of the new cricket season. The increased use of the ground also underlines the importance of having a permanent defibrillator installed.
