Fox Lane Sports Club is the major venue for multiple outdoor sports in Leyland. It is well placed, close to the town centre with good transport links and is a family-orientated club set in 7.2 acres of the most peaceful and picturesque scenery anywhere in the North West of England.
The views of our "premiership standard" cricket field are second to none and give spectators the chance to watch Northern League matches and cup competitions in a delightful setting, or you can just watch the progress of our juniors, especially on a Friday evening when upwards of a hundred are being put through their paces by our ECB standard coaches, the envy of any club in the country, as indeed is our new four lane practice facility for the senior players.
Cricket is so popular at our club that we now use the BTR field for matches as well, thanks to the local council, and despite this, games are still played virtually seven days a week on the Fox Lane site. Tours are arranged, even to the West Indies, on a regular basis, so come down and soak up the atmosphere with a pint or two, especially on our patio area, a convivial meeting place where the gentle banter helps to create a wonderful match day feeling, as enjoyed by our spectators over the years.

Bowling of course, is another huge attraction for the club with over a hundred members playing regularly thoughout the summer and winter months, 12 months of bowling, excellent value in anybody's money. Both our floodlit greens see a great deal of action, the lights being especially useful in winter for league matches on a Monday and Tuesday evenings, both very popular. Regular maintenance is a must and recently a new irrigation system has been installed so that our "county standard" greens will again cater for likes of the Lancashire Federation. The ladies section are extremely active and in many ways show the men the way in terms of activities to raise funds for the club. long may it continue.

The tennis section can boast one of the top 15 year olds in the country, George Morgan who is the son of our LTA Coach Dave Morgan won the Orange Bowl in Miami last December, so if you are a junior who fancies playing the best come along to Fox Lane. The club has just had an extremely successful season with no less than THREE teams gaining promotion from their respective leagues, this is a wonderful achievement when one considers the facilities on offer at some of the indoor centres locally. We have four all-weather courts, three of which are floodlit, again extemely useful in winter, meaning that once again we have a sport that is played twelve months of the year. surprisingly popular is the Thursday afternoon sessions which, for obvious reasons caters for the older members, nevertheless it has a full part to play in the life of the club, as do the lively competitions held at regular intervals throughout the year.

The "clubhouse" provides us with our main function room, ideal for parties of 65 to 120, but also a social/games room for you to relax in, or share the quiet atmosphere of our small lounge where you can chat to your hearts content. At weekends we have excellent catering from Pauline Kaye, whose reputation goes from strength to strength.
