About Our Club

The Merger

In the off-season of 2011, Warwick Cricket Club and Greenwood Cricket Club convened to explore a potential merger, with the objective of fortifying and sustaining both clubs for the future. Following this initial meeting, the merger proposal was presented at each club's AGM. After thorough discussions, the members of both clubs agreed to investigate further. On 10th December 2011, a pivotal meeting was held at Greenwood CC's clubrooms, attended by approximately 100 members. After robust deliberation, the vote to merge was unanimously approved. A subcommittee was established to facilitate the merger, comprising Justin Shakeshaft, Xavier Deering, Denham Barr, Shane Richardson, Mark Grimes, Brad Staples, Glen Marsh, Glenn Farr, Ryan Lowth, and Richard Corr. Their collective efforts culminated in the formation of the Warwick Greenwood Cricket Club (WGCC) in 2012. Many of these individuals are now esteemed Life Members of the merged entity, recognized for their significant contributions.
