RMC Centenary Cricket Match Vs Molonglo Cricket Club- 16 Oct 11

The RMC Cricket Club was first established in 1911 playing its first match on the 18 November 1911. The club has existed in many forms since then and today it remains a sporting club within RMC and competes both internally and externally to Defence. In 1956, RMC began its long association with the Molonglo Cricket Club (originally GPS Old Boys).

In 1964, recognising the close association with the Molonglo Cricket Club (MCC), the Commandant, Major General C. H. 'Basil' Finlay instituted the annual RMC Commandant's XI Vs MCC match. The first Commandant's XI match was on 8 Mar 1964. The annual Commandant's XI match has been contested every year since. This year also marks the RMCs centenary year with officer training commencing here in 1911. As part of the RMCs centenary celebrations RMC is hosting a centenary cricket match against the MCC on the 16 Oct 11.

The centenary cricket match seeks to bring together previous and current RMC members, well known defence and cricket representatives to celebrate not only the centenary of the college but also the centenary of the cricket club. In doing so we see to foster the charter of the RMC and the sporting values of leadership, mateship and teamwork.

As part of the centenary cricket celebrations RMC is hosting the centenary cricket dinner. Details of the dinner are below:
