Our Beginnings
Crane Cricket Club was where we all met and played competitive Sunday friendly cricket with pride, passion and great enjoyment for many years. During the season of 2005 a new vision was formed on how a club should evolve hence a few of the guys embarked upon creating this new club whilst continuing to hold on to all that we all learnt & adopted at Crane.
