SANDHURST CRICKET CLUB Inc A37A

HISTORY/OVERVIEW

The Sandhurst Cricket Club was formed in 1928 and is an important member of one of the stronger competitions in Victoria, the Bendigo District Cricket Association. Apart from entering 1st XI, 2nd XI and 3rd XI teams, the Sandhurst Cricket Club also enters teams at U11, U13, U15 and U17 levels in the junior competition, and annually runs the Milo Have-A-Go cricket program.

Our First XI team has been extremely successful and has won premierships in 1941/42, 1957/58, 1961/62, 1962/63, 1963/64, 1965/66, 1966/67, 1969/70, 1977/78 and 1978/79. Although not as successful in recent years the Club has remained committed to fostering the development of our junior players.
