SKLPCC
was formed in 1985 by a handful of very keen, passionate and enthusiastic
members of the SKLP community.
The primary aim of the club since the inception has
always been to nurture the untapped raw talent that obviously exists
in the community, using the basis of how the club was originally
formed. Even in 2001
this is evident from how the club has gone from strength to strength,
having won promotion within the league and having enjoyed being
the winners of the league in 1992 and 1996 as well as having been
runners-up on numerous occasions.
In
our first season we played a full season of friendlies to
see how well the club could perform and to encourage more players
to join. It proved to be very difficult to get a consistent
side out every week, due to the fact at the time there were only
fourteen members. There were occasions were we had to find
a couple of players to complete a full eleven, however we still
had a very successful season, winning 17 of the 22 games.
The
second season, was a very exciting one for the club, because not
only did we join the Middlesex Club Cricketers League in Division
3; we also gained promotion to Division 2 as runners-up. The
season also saw us being invited to a very memorable tour to Kenya,
by Kanbis Sports Club.
