Carlton Cricket Club (Barbados)

Carlton Cricket Club is a cricket club in Barbados, competing in the Barbados Cricket Association Division 1 championship. The club is based in Black Rock, north of Bridgetown and its home ground is the Desmond Haynes Oval.[1] Carlton was founded on 1 April 1940 as a club for "lower middle income whites and near whites for whom there was no space in Pickwick and Wanderers [cricket clubs]".[2] Changes in Barbadian society meant that from the 1960s onwards, the membership of Carlton gradually came to reflect the general Barbadian population.[3]

A multi-sport club, Carlton also supports football, netball and volleyball teams. The club motto is Labor omnia vincit.
