Porthill Park Cricket Club
Weekend First XI fixtures and knock-out cup competitions are particularly well supported by local cricket enthusiasts from throughout North Staffordshire and South Cheshire. Such games are played at aguably one of the highest standards of amateur cricket in the country and it is a testament to this and to the increasing profile of the league clubs like Porthill Park, that the current "cast" of professionals in the league feature current "test" stars.
In recent years we have seen an increase in the desire of local firms and organisations to advertise their services at the Old County Ground. This is in part due to the club upgrading it's facilities and playing area to standards that are widely accepted as "the benchmark" in Staffordshire and part due to the fact that Staffordshire County Cricket Club use the venue for senior and junior fixtures throughout the summer.
