Senior Cricket at Derriaghy Cricket Club

Senior Team

At Derriaghy Cricket Club, cricket is more than just a sport — it's a community, a tradition, and a place where people of all ages come together to grow, learn, and belong.

Ideally based between Lisburn & South Belfast, our club offers a full player pathway, nurturing talent from our thriving junior section all the way through to our three senior teams.
From a child’s first soft ball session to representing the 1st XI, every player is supported and encouraged at every stage of their journey.

Our club is built on the dedication of volunteers, coaches, and families who give their time, energy, and passion to help make Derriaghy a place where everyone feels welcome.

Whether you’re looking to play, coach, score, support, or lend a hand on match days, there’s a role here for you — and you’ll be part of something that truly matters.

The Senior set-up includes three competitive adult teams, offering playing opportunities for all ability levels, with regular league and cup fixtures. And with our continued investment in coaching, facilities, and technology — including live streaming and a new electronic scoreboard — we’re building for the future while honouring our past.

Over the years, Derriaghy has proudly seen several players go on to representative honours, with the most notable recent success being Patrick Kruger, who played for the club before returning to South Africa to represent the Knights at First Class level.
Stories like Patrick’s inspire our younger players and show what’s possible with the right support, attitude, and environment.

Whether you dream of making it to the top, or just want to enjoy cricket with friends in a welcoming, family-friendly setting — Derriaghy is the place to do it.
