'''Monton & Weaste Cricket Club''' were a [[cricket]] club in the [[Central Lancashire Cricket League|Central Lancashire League]] who played at Ellesmere Park in [[Eccles, Greater Manchester]], England. They fielded a First and Second team after joining the league in 2005. They were originally recruited so that the league would return to sixteen member clubs, but [[Stand Cricket Club|Stand]] later announced their resignation for the 2005 season.<ref><br />

The club formed in 1998 when Monton merged with Weaste Cricket Club, following a decline in the latter’s playing resources over previous years. Both clubs were longstanding members of the [[Manchester and District Cricket Association]]. Monton had been a member of the Manchester Association since replacing [[Stockport Cricket Club|Stockport]] in 1937. Stockport had left to join the CLL, but resigned in 1998. Monton & Weaste were chosen to replace them in 2004, ahead of five other applicants. In 2020 Monton, by then playing in the Greater Manchester Cricket League, reverted to their original name.<br />
