Sandyford Cricket Club

Sandyford Cricket Club was founded in 1984 in the Dublin suburb of Sandyford. The club's home ground is located in Marlay Park, a 300-acre public park, approximately from Dublin city centre. The club is a member of the Leinster Cricket Union.

Teams

As of 2024, the club was fielding four adult teams across several divisions. These included the:

  • First team, in division 4 league
  • Second team, in division 9 league
  • Third team, in division 16 league
  • Fourth team, in division 18 league.

Location

Sandyford CC is based in Marlay Park in Rathfarnham. As of 2022, this was also the location where the Longitude Festival is held each year. After the 3 concerts and 3 days of Longitude Festival in 2022, the outfield was left in ruins and in a state that was unfit to play cricket.

As of September 2022, Sandyford Cricket Club and Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council were working to move the cricket ground to a new location in keeping with the Marlay Park Master Plan.
