Spen Victoria Cricket Bowls & Athletic Club has an extremely long and successful History, but far from resting on its laurels, Spen Victoria cricket and bowling teams continue to win trophies in both cricket and bowling competitions.  Spen Victoria also provides some of the best facilities of any club of its type in the area.  

With its high banking and grandstand views across to its excellent clubhouse, Spen Victoria’s ground gives its spectators the feel of a large auditorium.  The club has had the pleasure of hosting many prestigious finals, including the Heavy Woollen Cup, Blacksheep Yorkshire Champions and most recently, the Priestley Cup Final.

In fact Spen Victoria is well known for staging major finals in both cricket and bowling, and in March 2022, the club crowned its reputation with the hosting of the World Club Bowling Championship.

Douglas Croft

It is with sadness to announce that my dad, Douglas Croft, passed away peacefully on Thursday 29th January. After a long battle with cancer which sadly beat him in the end. He was head of maths at whitcliffe mount school for around 25 years before retiring in 1997. A cricket lover who went on to umpire in the Aire-Wharf league after retirement. A life long Huddersfield Town fan and proud Yorkshireman. But most of all, he was husband to my late mum, Shirley, dad to me and Helen and grandad to Hannah, Tom and Freya. He was also an uncle, father-in-law and proud of his family roots. He will be missed. His funeral will take place on Thursday 26th February, which would have been his 80th birthday. It is at Dewsbury Crematorium at 2pm, followed by a celebration of his life at Spen Victoria cricket club.
