Mount Lawley District Cricket Club is one of the clubs playing in the Western Australian Grade Cricket competition. The club joined the Western Australian Cricket Association "A" grade district competition as the Maylands-Mount Lawley Cricket Club in 1924-25 after having applied for entry two years earlier.[1] The name was changed to Mount Lawley Cricket Club in 1927-28.
The club's first home ground was Maylands Oval, which later became known as Shearn Park. This was granted in 1923.[2] In 1947-48 senior matches moved to Inglewood Oval and in 1973-74 the club moved to Hamer Park. Its most recent move was to Cornwall Reserve in Dianella in October 1978. In 1982-83 the ground was renamed to Breckler Park.
Chris Matthews was the first homegrown Mount Lawley player to join the Australian team. Other notable Mount Lawley players include Ashley Mallett, Terry Jenner, Tony Mann, Colin Milburn, Geoff Marsh, Dermot Reeve, Ravi Ratnayeke, Gehan Mendis and Mike Veletta.
