The Lichfield Cricket Club, though not the best cricket club in the Birmingham Premier Cricket League, endeavours to have the most fun. The club has the nick-name 'Three Spires'. This nickname derives from the three nearby spires of Lichfield Cathedral; the spires (not the players) are also known as 'The Ladies of the Vale'.
The club, which has a flourishing junior section, plays at its home ground 'Collins Hill' in Lichfield. The club is affiliated to the 'Burton & District Cricket League', 'Birmingham & District Premier Cricket League' and the 'Staffordshire Cricket Board'. The club has enjoyed great success in the last three years especially in the 'Sunday League'.
GKN Sinter Metals (an American company with an outlet in Lichfield) are the sponsors of the cricket club and its associated hockey club.
