Dowling acting as club chairman, the first of many local clergy who fulfil honorary roles in running the club in Victorian times.

Some success has been gained over the years with 1st XI league championships won in 2013 and 2015, the latter gaining promotion into the premiership for the 2016 season. As expected, the 2016 season was a difficult one but the club managed to retain its position in the division over a tough conclusion to the season played away from home to allow pitch reconstruction work. Having been top of the league for most of the season, the 1st XI finished 3rd in the Cheshire County League Premier Division in 2018. Cricket Club Magazine recently caught up with Club Representative Gary Fisher to find out more about how they have been getting along lately. He told us, “I have played cricket at Timperley since 1997. I had played Hockey at the club previously and playing Cricket there as well was an easy decision with the ground within walking distance at from home.” “I help out wherever I can and of late have focused on trying to ensure that our playing subscriptions are administered well and I have also assisted in trying to give ground maintenance more of a focus across the club. Cricket is just one sporting component of the Club’s wider activity (also playing Hockey, Lacrosse and junior football) on site.
