Fifty seasons

Strathmore Heights Cricket Club was formed in the 1977/78 season, when Strathmore Presbyterians and St Aidans came together. We played as St Aidans Uniting until 1986/87, then took the name Strathmore Heights to reflect our home at Boeing Reserve.

Boeing Reserve is still home today, and 2026/27 is our 50th season.

In winter we play in the Mid Year Cricket Association, with Mid Year Central flags in 2013, 2016 and 2018.
