Prospect Cricket Club (the "Pirates") are a Grade Cricket team located in Adelaide, South Australia.

Prospect competes in the South Australian Grade Cricket League, administered by the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA). 'A' Grade players in this competition vie for selection in South Australia’s Pura Cup State team, which leads to possible selection in the Australian Cricket team.

The club currently fields 4 senior and 6 junior teams and uses Prospect Oval for its A and B grade Home matches.

History

The Prospect District Cricket Club draws on the history of two predecessors, the Prospect Cricket Club and the North Adelaide Cricket Club.

The Prospect Cricket Club was formed during the 1880's and joined the Adelaide and Suburban Cricketing Association as a foundation member at the start of the 1899/00 cricket season. [http://www.prospectcricketclub.org.au/history_pcc.htm] . In 1924 Prospect Cricket Club, based at Prospect Oval, was admitted to the SACA B Grade Competition.

The North Adelaide Cricket Club was originally formed in 1867 as North Adelaide Young Men's Society. It was a foundation member of the SACA competition and won four premierships between 1879 and 1896. [http://www.prospectcricketclub.org.au/history_nacc.htm] It was based at Adelaide Oval.

A decision of the SACA to revise the District boundaries for the 1928-29 season led to discussions between the two clubs, the SACA and the Prospect Council, which eventually resulted in the amalgamation of the two clubs. The new Club would continue in the SACA A Grade competition, with itshome base at Prospect Oval. On 1st May 1928, the Prospect District Cricket Club was born.

The club won its first SACA premiership in the 1936-37 season under the captaincy of A. E. Cole. [http://www.prospectcricketclub.org.au/history.htm]
