ABOUT ST IVES CRICKET CLUB WHO ARE WE? The St Ives Cricket Club s known involvement in the community most likely dates past the Federation of Australia. The earliest recorded match dates back to 1902, with cricket in the region stemming back a further thirty years. This places it as one of the oldest surviving district cricket clubs in New South Wales. St Ives Cricket Club subsequently became a foundation club of the Hornsby, Ku-ringgai and Hills District Cricket Association (HK&HDCA) upon its formation on March 11, 1926. St Ives Cricket Club have entered the most teams since the inception of the Association and in 2008/09 there were over a hundred registered players in six grades; spanning A-grade to D-Reserves. Of the six entered sides, five secured semi-final berths. The St Ives Cricket Club is based at our clubhouse located at the Home of Cricket, Hassell Park.
