Kingborough Cricket Club
Kingborough District Cricket Club (KDCC) also known as the "Knights" represent Kingborough in Tasmania's Grade Cricket Competition.
The Knights have experienced great success over the last two Tasmanian seasons, winning back-to-back First Grade Premierships. Additionally in the 07/08 season, Kingborough's Third Grade side finished premiers, while the Second Grade side were runners up.
The KDCC pride themselves on a very successful junior set-up in the club. Being based in one of the fastest growing municipalities in Australia only helps this and in the 07/08 season Kingborough boasted over 300 registered players under the age of 15. The benefits of fostering this local junior talent are coming to bare already with nine of the past two First Grade premiership team members coming through the junior ranks at the club over the past number of years.

Famous quotes containing the words cricket and/or club:
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“The barriers of conventionality have been raised so high, and so strangely cemented by long existence, that the only hope of overthrowing them exists in the union of numbers linked together by common opinion and effort ... the united watchword of thousands would strike at the foundation of the false system and annihilate it.”
—Mme. Ellen Louise Demorest 1824–1898, U.S. women’s magazine editor and woman’s club movement pioneer. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 203 (January 1870)
