The seeds were sown to establish a new cricket club at Blackmans Bay in August 1972.  Germination was quick and reliable and the Blackmans Bay District Cricket Club was formed at a public meeting on the 29th September 1972.  Attendance at the meeting was poor, however there were numerous expressions of community support and interest for the foundation of a cricket club.  It was through the enthusiasm of the organisers and their knowledge and faith in wider public support that the Club became a reality.
