'Opportunity for progress' - cricket club set to move
Shields Gazette
|October 25, 2025
A high-profile sports club in South Tyneside is on the brink of an historic boundary switch - moving to a new ground after 157 years at its home venue.
South Shields Cricket Club is finalising plans to move from Wood Terrace in Westoe to a new sitebehind Epinay School at Whiteleas.
It hopes to lease enough existing sports-assigned land from South Tyneside Council to create two cricket pitches.
Club bosses say the move is strongly supported by players, members and the council - and would allow them to provide first-class facilities.
Preliminary development work has taken place, and the first matches could be played start of the 2027 season.
Council chiefs confirmed discussions were progressing and a planning application is expected in the coming months.
