Mayfield Cricket Club, established in 1925 by Ken Cushen, proudly celebrates its centenary this year. The first few seasons saw matches played at Broomfield Park, rather than Hazelwood, and the early scorebooks reveal a distinct dominance of ball over bat. The inaugural match on 11th July 1925 perfectly encapsulated this trend. Batting first, the 166th North London Scouts were dismissed for a paltry 43, with founder Ken Cushen taking 4-14. Ken also led the batting in Mayfield's first innings, scoring 18. However, a seemingly straightforward target proved elusive, as Mayfield were bowled out for 39, losing by 4 runs and thus establishing the now legendary "classic Mayfield collapse."

For a century, the club has fostered a proud tradition as a welcoming, friendly, and diverse social hub, prioritizing enjoyment above all. Its longevity is a testament to the passion and dedication of its members, often families of fathers, sons, brothers, and friends. The club's history is rich with familial connections and friendships forged on the cricket pitch, all contributing to the vibrant tapestry that is Mayfield Cricket Club, now in its 100th year.

From our founding days to this momentous 100th year, we've upheld the spirit of cricket. We look forward to building on this rich history for generations to come.
