Seddon CC Centenary
This season marks 100 years as a cricket club, with the earliest report of a cricket match involving Seddon CC - originally known as Seddon Imperials - in the 1923/24 season in the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) competition. This is a significant milestone that the club intends to honour and celebrate for the remainder of the season.
History
The earliest report of a cricket match involving Seddon Imperials was in November 1923 in the YMCA (Young Men's
Christian Association) competition. In this match Seddon defeated Brunswick Clarions according to The Age of 12
November 1923. The team went on the make but lose a final against the Renowns.

The oldest annual report we have, numbered the 13th, is dated 28 July 1938. It seems to support the formal foundation of the cricket club being 1925. However, as we have seen the club entered a team in YMCA competition in the 1923-24 season.
As such, we have decided to celebrate the Club's 100th year during the 2023-24 season.
