Notting Hill Brandon Park Cricket Club

The Notting Hill Brandon Park Cricket Club was formed in 1991 following the merger of the Notting Hill Cricket Club and the Brandon Park Cricket Club. Based at Columbia Park Reserve in Wheelers Hill, the Club proudly fielded six senior teams in its first season, with the First XI securing a premiership in its inaugural year.

The Notting Hill Cricket Club was originally founded in 1954 after a group of mates came together in the public bar of the Notting Hill Hotel. Starting with just one team, the Club enjoyed immediate success by winning a premiership in its debut season. The Club’s first home ground was located on the current site of the Monash Transfer Station, at the corner of Ferntree Gully and Blackburn Roads. In 1980, the Club relocated to Freeway Reserve, Mulgrave, where it played on both the North and South ovals. Today, our Thirds, Fourths, Fifths and junior teams continue to call Freeway Reserve home.

The Brandon Park Cricket Club was established in 1974, also beginning with a single team at Columbia Park Reserve. Success came quickly, with the Club’s First XI winning a premiership in the top grade of the competition in just its second season.
In 2017, the Notting Hill Brandon Park Cricket Club proudly celebrated its 25-year anniversary. As part of the celebrations, the Club inducted three Legends and named both a “Team of the 25 Years” and teams of the 1990s and 2000s.
The Club continues to thrive, fielding five senior teams, a veteran over-40s team, six junior teams, and a Woolworths Cricket Blast program for younger players. We are especially proud of the number of girls participating in our mixed junior teams and are working hard toward establishing a dedicated girls’ team soon.

We are also deeply grateful for the loyalty and support of our long-term sponsors, who play a vital role in our ongoing success.
