The early history of the Club is yet to be researched as there is evidence that the Club played, as an Anglican Church team in Armidale, in the early 1900’s. The church association continued in the latter half of the century. The Rev Colin Wellard and Verger, Walter Gerken as a benefactor contributing ten pounds, were instrumental in supporting the club's re-emergence after a meeting instigated by Peter Poggioli in the Cathedral vestry following a pre summer Sunday service. In acknowledgement of the sensitivity of the arrangement the first "unofficial" commercial sponsor of the club was Cyril Fitzgerald, licensee of Tattersalls Hotel.
In 1959, St Peters competed in the B Grade of the New England Cricket Association (later Armidale) and in 1960 nominated to play A Reserve, as the second grade competition was then called. Peter Poggioli, later mayor of Armidale, was the team captain in the inaugural years and was succeeded as team leader by Peter Hutchinson.
