Beckwithshaw Cricket Club has launched a fundraising campaign to tackle the "significant" drainage issues its faced in recent years.
The club is looking to raise £15,000 to install drains through its field.
Due to the wet weather, a large number of matches have been cancelled in recent times, preventing the club from using the playing facilities and causing fixture congestion.
The field's poor drainage is affecting both junior and senior teams.
A club spokesperson said:
“With the wetter winters and more unpredictable climate in recent years, our outfield is taking longer to dry out, causing huge delays to the start of season groundworks.
“In the past two seasons we have had to wait until nearly mid May before we have been able to have any cricket played in Beckwithshaw, instead of the usual early April season start.
“With adequate drainage we hope to be able to play more cricket in the early season and improve the facilities we currently have.”
The money will be used to install drains spaced at 10m intervals.
The club said it will improve the drainage of the outfield and square "significantly" throughout the winter months.
A spokesperson added:
“With better outfield drainage and improved facilities, the club will be able to run more cricket matches and improve its financial sustainability.
“We will also be well positioned in the local community to provide more cricketing opportunities for our junior members in the early season and late season.
“With large developments in the local area planned, we as a club need to be able to provide good quality facilities to manage increased footfall in future years and for future generations.”
Sport England have pledged a donation of £7,500, contingent upon supporters of Beckwithshaw Cricket Club raising the another £7,500.
The total estimated cost of the project is £17,800.
