Season Mid-October through August to Mid-March
Competition MCC (Melbourne Cricket Club) Club XI competition
Teams We currently have 2 teams in Division 3 and Division 4 of the Club XI competition. Both teams play Sundays (mostly) over a 14-round season (no games on public holiday weekends or over Christmas-New Years)
Training Times Thursdays from 6pm on the KAO (parking under the oval, entering via Gate 3 from Mont Albert Road, for those who haven’t been to the school in a while!)
About the club The Old Camberwell Grammarians Cricket Club was restarted in the 2015/16 season when a group of 2006 OCG leavers decided to take up running the former Hartwell Uniting Old Camberwell Cricket Club. Entering our 10th season, we’ve had a very strong and culture of both having fun but also winning (4 premierships across two teams over that time).
Why play with OCGCC? Think you're the next elite cricketer? Or just love the game and a good laugh with mates?
Our cricket club is a proud mix of past students and fresh faces, with leavers from 2003 right through to 2022 joining us over the past few seasons. Whether you're dusting off the whites after a few years off or looking for a competitive edge, there's a spot here for you.
Our 1st XI remains fiercely competitive, featuring some seriously handy cricketers,
while the 2nd XI welcomes all comers—whether you're in form, finding form, or just here for fun.
But we're not just about what happens between the wickets. We're a laid-back club that values connection just as much as competition. Most games or training sessions are followed by a shared meal, and our calendar is packed with social events—Ladies Day, match-day BBQs, and family-friendly gatherings that recognise and celebrate the people behind the players. With several new dads and young families around, we know how important that community feel is.
As part of the prestigious MCC Club XI competition, we’re lucky enough to have our presentation night at the MCG—usually timed with a blockbuster early-season AFL clash. It’s a unique experience that only adds to the appeal.
And let’s not forget the facilities. If you’re an alumni, you’ll know the difference—KAO has transformed our training environment, offering arguably the best cricket facilities you’ll find at community level.
In short? You won’t find a better competition, a better club culture, or a better bunch of people to share a summer with.
Anyone interested in joining the club should contact us via email secretary.ocgcc@gmail.com or reach out on the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/OCGCC/. Alternatively, just come along to a training night and we’d be more than happy to have you!
