Have you ever wondered how Belmont District Cricket Club was formed?

Belmont was admitted to the Newcastle District Cricket Competition in the 1944-1945 Season. Mr Pat Cahill (who our main ground is now named after) a prominent Detective in the area led a delegation of men with a proposal to the Newcastle District Cricket Association to allow Belmont to enter into the District Cricket Competition. Before this Belmont was playing in the City & Suburban competition, this proposition was accepted and Belmont District Cricket Association was formed.
