The 2003 season was the most successful in the club’s history with both the 1st XI and 2nd XI being promoted and in 2004 both teams started the campaign in the Drakes Premier sections.
However the 1st XI found the step up in class too great and the season ended in relegation.
This year by winning the Cedar Court Conference the 1st XI have ensured the club will have two premiership teams again next season and this time the side looks better equipped to survive.
To celebrate over a hundred years of Shelley cricket a booklet about Shelley Cricket Club, its past history and achievements was published.
Written by Bob Haigh ‘Century Plus’ is a fascinating record of Shelley Cricket Club.
