The Fitzroy Doncaster Cricket Club, nicknamed the Lions, play cricket in the elite club competition of Melbourne, Australia, known as Victorian Premier Cricket. The club was formed by a 1986 amalgamation of Fitzroy Cricket Club, a foundation member of Victorian Premier Cricket in 1905, and Doncaster Cricket Club, a Victorian Sub-District Association team formed in 1864. The Lions play at Schramms Reserve in Doncaster

question
Q: Message from the President – Fitzroy Doncaster District Cricket Club - Past Players, Parents, Partners and Supporters

The Lions are seeking your support. It’s not too late to volunteer to join the General Committee or head up one of our major functions for the year.

The actual day-to-day running of the club and match day is well taken care of with the Game Day Administrator, coaches and players all contributing to the smooth running of the Club. So, the time commitment is not what you may think. We are looking for people who can contribute small amounts of personal time.
