Saltwood CC History
A brief(ish) history of Saltwood Cricket Club since we started play at the Tanners Hill ground in 1955. We don’t have many records of 100s or 5 wickets hauls before 1959 but as we find more scorebooks or press clippings, they will be added.
Our pre-1934 history will soon be revealed thanks to some excellent research by Geoff Cooke.

Baggy Blue #4
Congratulations to Joey Pratt for being awarded Baggy Blue cap #4.
Baggy Blues aren’t handed out to everyone, you have to do something special, and for playing as our overseas for 3 seasons, the Baggy Blues decided Joey was a worthy recipient. It’s not just the runs and wickets he has taken, he’s a top bloke and a it’s been great to have him around.
