Dandenong Cricket Club
The Dandenong Cricket Club is an Australian cricket club based in Dandenong, Victoria, an outer-city suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. They play in Victorian Premier Cricket, the highest competition in the state.
History
In 1989, Hawthorn/East Melbourne relocated to Glen Waverley in the eastern suburbs, and was later renamed Hawthorn/Waverley in 1994. The move of Hawthorn/East Melbourne caused Waverley to move to Dandenong, and the new team played as Waverley/Dandenong, but dropped Waverley from its name for the 1994–95 season. Dandenong currently use Shepley Oval as their home ground.
The club's most successful season came in 2006/7 when it won its first Premier Cricket Premiership. The side included Peter Siddle, Darren Pattinson and Warren Ayres.
Dandenong won its second flag in 2010/11 vs. Frankston Heat. Siddle, Darren and James Pattinson all played for Dandenong in the final and their individual efforts went a long way to Dandenong claiming the Premiership.
