Monton & Weaste Cricket Club are a cricket club in the Central Lancashire League who play at Ellesmere Park in Eccles, Greater Manchester, England. They have fielded a First and Second team since joining the league in 2005. They were originally recruited so that the league would return to sixteen member clubs, but Stand later announced their resignation for the 2005 season.[1]

The club formed in 1998 when Monton merged with the struggling Weaste Cricket Club, and took up Monton's place in the Manchester and District Cricket Association. Monton had been a member of the Manchester Association since replacing 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.
