About Us

Salesian Old Boys Cricket Club (SOBCC) began in 1962 as a social and competitive cricket club for all former students of Salesian College. Since those humble beginnings, the Club has welcomed and accepted people and players from all over. You do not have to have attended Salesian College to play with our club.

We openly invite you to come join us and be part of this warm and culturally diverse cricket club.
We have great facilities and our main ground is located within Salesian College, Bosco Street, Chadstone.

This year we will be fielding 2 senior sides in LOC 3 and LOC 6 of the ECA and a Veterans team to allow our Club to cater for players at all skill and experience levels.
