History

In 1963 the Baden Powell Cricket Club was formed back at the corner of Baden Powell Drive and Humphries Road. Since the ensuing years we’ve gone through many exciting times and grown from strength to strength. Baden Powell Cricket Club’s headquarters are now at Overport Road, but the Baden Powell Reserve is still used for play by both seniors and juniors.

A selection of awards and positions held is shown on this page. Please download our booklet (PDF) for complete records.
