About us
West of Scotland Cricket Club is based at Hamilton Crescent, located on Peel Street in Partick. The club currently fields six senior teams, a women’s team and various junior teams.
The club was founded in 1862 as a result of a meeting which took place at the then Clarence Hotel in George Square, Glasgow, between a group of local businessmen and players from the Clutha Cricket Club, who had used the northern part of Hamilton Crescent for matches prior to West's inception.
The historic site was the venue for the first ever official International Football match between Scotland and England on November 30th, 1872.

Coaching
The quality of our coaching structure at West is vital to its success in recruiting and retaining players for all sections of the club. With one of the largest and youngest coaching teams in the region, we aim to develop the skills of all our players and induct them into the club’s style of playing the game. We are committed to the development of our coaches to ensure we remain at the cutting edge of the sport.
Social
Why should you join West if you don't play cricket? It's the social side of the club that truly makes it a special place. So, if you enjoy the sport but don't participate, want to get involved in our popular social events, be a part of our community or simply wish to take advantage of the outdoor space and reasonably-priced bar, then find out more about our social membership.
