  History

Hatfield Cricket Club’s year of establishment, 1850, is based upon documentation in the club's possession in 1949, however, there is now strong evidence that the club was playing in Hatfield Park as early as 1789.

In 1912 the club merged with near neighbours Hatfield Hyde, playing as Hatfield United CC, a union which did not last long, the clubs going their separate ways after the end of World War 1.

Following the cessation of the 1922 season, the club was forced to leave its home in Hatfield Park due to the emergence of the Hatfield Estate Club and the club moved to a new ground, “The Showfield,” in St Albans Road East, joining forces with Hatfield United FC to form the Hatfield United Athletic Club, the cricketers once again adopting the moniker Hatfield United CC. With the Showfield Ground required for housing development, in 1928 the club made the short move to another new ground at the Stonecross Road “Oval”. With effect from the 1938 season the club reverted to its historic name of Hatfield CC.

With the two Hatfield clubs' numbers depleted as a consequence of World War II, there followed an amalgamation, which was effectively a takeover, and the ‘Town’ club returned to Hatfield Park 1946. Initially playing as Hatfield Estate CC, in 1949 the club registered itself as Hatfield Estate (& Town) CC, the name it continued as until 1977, when it again reverted to Hatfield CC having been given notice of eviction from Hatfield Park by Lord Salisbury, the club moving to its present ground at Ascots Lane for the 1979 season.

In 2012, Hatfield CC joint forces with Hatfield Crusaders CC (formerly Potters Bar Crusaders) to play under the name of Hatfield & Crusaders Cricket Club.
