Hawkesbury CC History
Life member Hugh McKay has compiled this detailed history of the Hawks which is a great read for past and present club members.
The History of Hawkesbury Cricket Club
Cricket has been played in the Hawkesbury District since the early 1800’s. In fact, the first cricket match played in western Sydney was in the Hawkesbury. So popular was cricket in the Hawkesbury, that in 1882 an English team visited Windsor for a match. In 1897 the Hawkesbury District Cricket Association (HDCA) was formed by local clubs from the towns of Richmond, Windsor, Pitt Town, Castlereagh and Kurrajong.
From 1948 until 1978, representative teams from the Hawkesbury played against teams representing Nepean, Camden and Southern Districts in what was known as the Hawkesbury Cricket Council. Matches were played between the districts in Under 13, Under 15, Under 18 and Open teams (which competed for the Gibson Cup) until 1979.
