At present the history of the club is still being documented and this page will be updated as the inormation becomes available.

 

The club is believed to have been formed around the 1870s, and is now in the region of the grand old age of 140 years old!! We have a Bat and Ball at the ground that was presented to Reverend Richard James in 1913 for achieving the best Bowling average for the club that season.

The Club joined the Cornwall Cricket League in 1964, prior to that they played in the Falmouth and District League (this league was founded in 1926)

It is believed that the club played it's matches on the Penrose Estate somewhere, but the club shared the Football pitch with Porthleven FC for around 20 years. This was until 1974 when the first match was played at our current ground 'Methleigh Bottoms'. The first match on the new ground was played against 'South Crofty' and Porthleven won convincingly. Jim Hoare took 6-52, John Eddy 4-34. John Barber scored an unbeaten 50 Not Out, supported by Perkins Matthews, scoring 28. During the move between the grounds, RNAS Culdrose kindly allowed Porthleven to play matches at their ground at the base, and these links have remained strong, with the roles being reversed as the Airmen use "The Bottoms" for their Navy Cup matches.

This is a picture of the Porthleven team that won the Falmouth & District League (Harris Challenge Cup) and the Andrew Cup in 1962. This was a match against a team made up from the rest of the league. Porthleven lost that day in a very competitive match.
