Blackhall Cricket Club is a small, friendly cricket club situated in South East Durham, just north of Hartlepool. We are the first club within the District of Easington area to have achieved the ECB Clubmark award, which recognises the quality of coaching & care provided for young cricketers.

Over the years, many world class players have graced the turf of our Welfare Park ground, and certain batsmen have smashed cricket balls into the dene that remain unfound to this date.

 

Directions to our Ground:

To reach the club exit the A19 at the junction with the B1281. Drive past the golf club on the left, and when the road bears to the right, take the next left turning signposted 'Blackhall Colliery'. Follow this road to the end (around 3 miles) and turn left again at the junction. Driving through the shops of Blackhall, we are situated in the park at the top of the bank as you exit the village. You can see our location here.
