Middle Swan Cricket Club

Founded in 1878 by C.W. Ferguson of Houghton Vineyards, the Middle Swan 78s Cricket Club (MSCC) is one of WA’s oldest Clubs and has a proud association with the Swan Valley Region.

MSCC’s Home Ground is named after local identity Jack Mann who as well as being a Life Member and former President of the Club was the father of Australian Test Cricketer, Tony Mann. Along with Tony, former Club Members Keith Slater and Wally Edwards also played for Australia whilst Tony Mateljan, Dennis Yagmich and Glen Thomas represented Western Australia.

Over the years, MSCC has also produced numerous First Grade West Australian Cricket Association (WACA) players and Swan Helena District Cricket Association (SHDCA) Representative Players. The Club also formed a Ladies Team back in 1956 with Millie and May Brajkovich making it into the WA Squad to play against the visiting English Women's Team.

MSCC is one of the SHDCA’s most successful Clubs having won 26 A Grade, 1 A Reserve Grade, 5 B Grade, 1 C Grade and 1 E Grade Premierships.

This year, MSCC has three teams competing in the SHDCA and looks forward to continuing the tradition of success in its 140th year.
