Howden Cricket Club looking forward to welcoming Saturday cricket back to the Ashes playing field next season after a 12 year absence.
The club disbanded in the mid 1990s and the pavilion at the Treeton Road site fell into disrepair but a determined group of footballers and cricketers have worked tirelessly to restore the historic pavilion to its former glory in the shadow of the Minster.

Aquarius of Howden have helped to refurbish the historic building

Although the club reformed in 2004 and now plays in the Snaith and District evening league, there has been no Saturday cricket at the Ashes since 1998
A team including Aquarius of Howden employees Andy Smith, James Smith and Ian Mitchell have spent the last two months installing hot water and three new state of the art showers kindly supplied by Aquarius and will refurbish the toilets once the pavilion roof is made watertight over the next few weeks. The final stage of the refurbishment will be to fit the Howdens supplied kitchen and the make-over will be complete.
Former pace bowler and keen footballer Andy is delighted that the pavilion will be used again; “It’s such an important part of Howden’s history and we’re proud to have been a part of its restoration. We’re very grateful to Aquarius and Howdens as the project wouldn’t have been viable without their generosity.”
The earliest recorded match of Cricket in East Yorkshire apparently took place at Wallingfen near Gilberdyke on 13 August 1778, when Howden beat Beverley by 64 ‘notches’.
The team at Aquarius has been delighting customers with its bespoke bathroom designs and installations for over 24 years.
