Kirk Langley CC is a friendly village club who have a long history dating back to 1857. They play their home matches at the picturesque G B Barrington Playing Field named after a teacher who arrived in the village in 1876 who went on to play cricket for Derbyshire and devoted over 50 years to Kirk Langley Cricket Club. Following his death, his daughter bought the village cricket ground and bequeathed it to the parish. The club fields two senior teams in the Derbyshire County Cricket League and also plays a number of friendly games during the season.
