Club history

In 1925-26 the Metropolitan Electorate Cricket Competition, played under the auspices of the Queensland Cricket Association, was contested in three grades by teams representing South Brisbane, Valleys, Western Suburbs, Eastern Suburbs and Toombul Electorate Clubs as well as the University of Queensland Cricket Club.[2]

To provide additional opportunities for players to participate in the competition, the number of teams competing in the "A" grade competition for the following season was increased to eight by the inclusion of two colts sides. Further teams were also included in the lower grades. This move was not a success and in 1927 it was decided to create a new electorate club centred on the Kelvin Grove City District, with certain areas previously covered by the Toombul, Western Suburbs and Valley Clubs being allocated to it.

The inaugural meeting of this Club was held on 28 June 1927 and was presided over by Alderman E Lanham. It was granted affiliation with the Queensland Cricket Association for the 1927-28 season under the name of Kelvin Grove Electorate Cricket Association. In 1928 the fledgling Club changed its name to Northern Suburbs Electorate Cricket Club and subsequently became known as Northern Suburbs District Cricket Club in 1931.

Location

The club is based at Shaw Park in the Brisbane suburb of Wooloowin.
