Forest District Cricket Club is a small and enthusiastic Club with teams ranging from Kangas to under 16s. We have a group of dedicated parents and managers and are looking forward to introducing cricket to many more juniors in the Forestville and Killarney Heights District.

If you are interested in joining the Club, offering your coaching services or sponsoring the Club, we would love to hear from you. 

The History of Forest District Cricket Club

Teams have been playing under the Forest name for more than 35 years in Manly/Warringah competitions. In the early days teams played under the name Forest Anglicans and from about 1982 as Forest Districts. Forest has continuously fielded teams in various age groups over that whole period. There are strong links between FDCC and the Forest Rugby Club which celebrated its 50th anniversary this year. The story goes that at some point in the early seventies, some of the dads from the rugby club got together and formed a cricket team so their children could play for a locally based team. The rest, as they say, is history! The FDCC logo,  is believed to be derived from and bears a strong resemblance to the Forest Rugby logo. 

FDCC has a proud history of achievement. There have been many individual and team successes over the years with numerous premierships won by Forest teams and many Forest players being selected for representative honours with Manly District sides. Forest players have also gone on to higher levels of cricket with a number playing grade for Manly as senior players over the years.  Two former Forest Cricketers,Cameron Merchant  (top order batsman) and Mark Houghton (left arm spinner) are now playing for the Wellington Firebirds in New Zealand with Merchant tipped to be selected to play test cricket for New Zealand later this summer. Fast bowler, Andrew Lindsay plays for the Manly Waratahs and was Sydney Grade cricket's leading wicket taker last season with best figures of 7-40.
