Welcome to Lismore Cricket Club – one of Munster’s oldest cricket clubs located in the heart of the farm grounds of Lismore Castle.
As we embark on the 152nd year of our club’s history (dating back to the first recorded Club Committee and full season of games in 1872), it’s a moment to reflect on the journey we’ve traveled. Throughout the years, our club has experienced its share of ups and downs, but in recent times, we’ve witnessed a remarkable resurgence.
A heartfelt appreciation goes out to the Club Committee, whose tireless dedication has been instrumental in the smooth functioning of our club. Their efforts, alongside those of our members, have played a pivotal role in enhancing our grounds, clubhouse, and facilities. These improvements ensure that our modest yet dynamic club is poised for a promising future, ready to welcome generations to come.
With the completion of our shed and upcoming building renovations, along with investments in pitch maintenance and the acquisition of wicket covers in 2024, we’re committed to maintaining the high standards that define us. As the sole club boasting an all-grass wicket in Munster, we aim to provide not just good games but also a traditional ambiance for players and spectators alike.
With a membership register boasting around 40 dedicated individuals, we’re gearing up to field a league team in Division 3 of the Munster League. Additionally, our Tavaners team eagerly anticipates hosting friendly matches with visiting teams from both Ireland and the UK.
To all enthusiasts of this beautiful game, we extend a warm invitation to our grounds at Castle Farm. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a curious spectator, we look forward to welcoming you to our cricketing community. Join us as we continue to celebrate the spirit of cricket amidst the picturesque backdrop of our beloved club.
Yours in cricket,
Nat Simcox
Club Chairman, 2024.
