Glenelg Cricket Club

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glenelg Cricket Club (the "Seahorses") are a Grade Cricket team located in Adelaide, South Australia.

Glenelg competes in the South Australian Grade Cricket League, administered by the South Australian Cricket Association. 'A' Grade players in this competition vie for selection in South Australia’s Pura Cup State team, which leads to possible selection in the Australian Cricket team.

The club currently fields 4 senior and 6 junior teams and uses 4 ovals at Glenelg Oval, Camden, Immanuel College and Bowker Street Oval

Founded in 1907, the club is planning centenary celebrations for the 2007/08 season[1].
