Our cricket club originated as the Doncaster Footballers Cricket Club, founded in 1949 by Pat Fromhold, George Knee, and Jack Carey. The club was formed for footballers that wanted a game of cricket with a club of their own. The club started remarkably with an outright win, which set the precedent for the rest of the season and years to come. Merely two years later, Doncaster won their first premiership in 1951, the first of many more achieved by the club.The club, later renamed to Doncaster Cricket Club, has had a proud history competing in the Box Hill Reporter District Cricket Association for over half a century. In that time Doncaster has won a total of 15 premierships, 17 runners up and One tie. Our most recent premiership win was in 2010/11 by the Third XI at the time in the C1 division.
