Cape Town Cricket Club

The Cape Town Cricket Club is located in the Plumstead suburb of Cape Town. Cape Town Cricket Club fields four teams across the Western Province Cricket Association - and one in the Friendly Cricketers' Association. The roots of the present Cape Town Cricket Club extend back to the year 1857, making it one of the oldest cricket clubs in South Africa. The driving force behind the establishment of the club was one William Thomas Hancock Sherman - an exceptional cricket player who became the first president of the club that year. In 1893, the Western Province Cricket Union agreed to establish a Club Championship, which has persisted in one form or another until the present day.
