In 2003, Simon Dobson led the club to fourth position in the Beckett League, along with appearances in the Hospital and Cayley Cup finals, and Steve Robinson captained the seconds to the Derwent Valley League title. The club also went back to running senior four teams due to the demand from members. 2004 and 2005 saw continued improvement, with the firsts finishing in the top 3 both years, and the seconds gaining successive promotions.

In 2007, Will Tindall led the club to a Harburn Cup final triumph, the first since 1991. The first eleven produced a solid season, and the seconds remained in the Beckett League Division A. The third team gained promotion from the Derwent Valley League, to join the Beckett League. Fourth team skipper Micah Greaves broke the club batting record, by smashing an unbeaten 194 against Scalby.

2008 saw Dave Morris lead the first team to the Beckett League Championship, their first in 23 years. In what proved to be one of the closest title races in recent years, Valley held their nerve to finish top.

Despite the loss of a number of keys players in 2009, Valley's first XI enjoyed a decent season with a mid table finish and marked the end of Dave Morris' stint as captain, but the 2ndXI suffered relegation despite winning 7 matches. out of 18. The thirds also endured a difficult season, finishing bottom and therefore were relegated back to the Derwent Valley League. The fourths had a good season, finishing in the top half, but also saw the end of Micah Greaves' reign as captain following five years in the job. The A Team lost their Division A Status in the evening league, however the B Team won the McCain Cup. 2009 could be classed as an up and down season!

We'll see what 2010 brings......

Forge Valley Cricket Club was founded in 1870. The club is based approximately four miles from the seaside town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, in the village of East Ayton. The club currently runs four senior teams in the Scarborough & District cricket leagues. The first, second and third teams play in the Scarborough Beckett League, whilst the fourth team play in the Scarborough Derwent Valley League.

The club is a major breeding ground for young talent, and the club runs one junior team which plays in the Scarborough Derwent Valley Junior League. The club has over fifty junior members. FVCC also runs two senior teams in the Scarborough & District Evening League.

FVCC's headquarters is at Wilsons Lane, East Ayton. The clubhouse on site, is run by Ayton Sports Association, whilst the field is looked after by East Ayton Playing Fields Association. There are family play areas on site. The second ground, where the thirds and fourths play, is situated at Garth End Road, West Ayton. This site is run by Ayton Sports Association.

The club has also won the Scarborough Beckett League championship five times (1975, 1979, 1981, 1985 and 2008).

The last twenty years has seen many ups and downs within the club. The club failed to repeat the 1986 triumph, which led to several players retiring, or moving onto pastures new. After years of steady decline, the club was forced to regroup following relegation from the top flight in 1996 following a twenty-three year stay. 1986 winner Nigel Pettitt took over the captaincy with an intent to restore former glories, and promotion back to the elite was achieved (1998), along with a Hospital Bowl win. This has provided a solid foundation for the club, and several younger players, who have developed through the junior ranks, have been to the forefront of this upturn in fortunes.
