Dunfermline Cricket Club

Sources date the foundation of Dunfermline Cricket Club as 1857. The club has, for most of its existence, played at its current ground in the south of this town. This was originally known as Ladysmill Park but was later renamed McKane Park after a wealthy benefactor. View History

The club has played the majority of its first eleven league cricket in the former Scottish Counties Championship as Fife.

The most successful phase in the history of the club was immediately prior to the Second World War when the championship was won six times out of seven. The club was also founder members of the Scottish Cricket League and of the fully fledged Scottish National Cricket League.

In recent years, the club has acquired the service of a number of fine professionals including the Indian test players Anshuman Gaekwad and Ashok Malhotra and most recently Waqas Ahmed Stephen Fryer and in 2009 Alistair Gray from South Africa.  

In 2009 the club won the SNCL Division 1 and will in 2010 compete in the SNCL Premier League. In 2009 the club reached the final of the Scottish Cup and were in the finals day of the National 20/20.

The second eleven has also achieved some degree of success in recent times in both the Forth Cricket Union and the East of Scotland League. The club also ran a 3rd XI in the east of Scotland League and  received many positive comments from teams for the way we intergrated some of our colts into the adult game, a policy which saw a number of colts picked for regional teams in the 2009 season.

In season 2004 the Under 13 team won the Scottish Cup beating Fauldhouse in the Final after beating Arbroath in the semi final.
