Earliest cricket


Cricket must have reached Dorset via neighbouring Hampshire by the end of the 17th century.


An advertisement in the Sherborne Mercury dated Tuesday 9 May 1738 is the earliest reference for cricket in Dorset. Twelve Dorchester men at Ridgway Races challenged twelve men from elsewhere to play them at cricket for the prize of twelve pairs of gloves valued at a shilling a pair.



Origin of club


According to Wisden there was county organisation in existence in either 1862 or 1871. The present Dorset CCC was founded on 5 February 1896 and first entered the Minor Counties Championship in 1902.



Club history


Dorset has won the Minor Counties Championship twice, in 2000 and 2010.


Dorset has won the MCCA Knockout Trophy once since its inception in 1983. It won in 1988.
