Sunbury Cricket Club

The Sunbury Cricket Club has a long and proud history traceable back to the 1860s and has been competing in the Gisborne District Cricket Association since the 1923/24 season.

Currently there is research being undertaken into the clubs colourful history. Below is a breif timeline of important events in the clubs early years which will be updated as information comes to hand. The MCC and local Historical Societies have been contacted to assist in our search for records and photos.

* Is the Sunbury Cricket Club the oldest continous sporting club in the Sunbury area?

* The connexion between the Sunbury Cricket Club and Sir W. J. Clarke is undeniable. Were SCC cricketers involved in that famous cricket match with the touring English cricket team during the christmas of 1882 at Rupertswood?

We are beginning to believe these are highly likely. If you have anything that may contribute please contact Marty K. through Sunbury Cricket Club email .
