CLUB HISTORY

The West Vancouver Cricket Club was formed in 1955 by three Kerrisdale players, Tom Guy, Dr George Mott and John Able, who felt that there was enough potential in the area to form a club. That summer a series of friendly fixtures was played against other clubs in the mainland league, using a small nucleus and borrowed players. The response was so favourable that in 1956 a full 'A' team was entered into the league. In 1957, a team was entered in both 'A' and 'B; Divisions and in the early 1960's the club fielded three teams for a number of years. However this was later cut back to two teams. Any West Vancouver player will point out that the lack of championship points up the rather holiday air that West Vancouver brings to its cricket!

Life Members

The West Vancouver Cricket Club has a long and proud history dating way back to 1955. Last Saturday, at their clubhouse in West Vancouver's Hugo Ray Park, the club honoured its lifetime members and alumni in a special ceremony acknowledging their dedication and commitment to the sport. Currently, the club is at risk of losing their playing fields at Hugo Ray and are fighting to preserve the grass fields - fields they say are among the best in North America. The club has produced champion league players at both the local and national levels.

PROGRAMS

JUNIOR

West Vancouver Cricket Club has the largest junior cricket program in Vancouver with three teams playing. Over 40 young players from across Metro Vancouver are enrolled in our program and play in the spring / summer season (May to July).

The main aim of the club is to provide healthy recreation in an enjoyable, optimistic environment while playing a sport! With the help of our junior coaches, senior cricketers and hopefully some enthusiastic parents, we are confident of another outstanding year ahead.
