Earliest cricket


Cricket probably reached Lincolnshire in the 18th century. The earliest reference to cricket in the county is dated 1792.[2]



Origin of club


A county organisation was set up in 1853. Grantham's mayor, Arthur Priestley was a prime mover in the development of Lincolnshire cricket, although he played for Nottinghamshire as an amateur. In 1896, he captained an English side in the West Indies. When the Gentlemen of Philadelphia toured England in 1903, they played a Lincolnshire XVI in Grantham with Bart King scoring 176 runs.


The present Lincolnshire CCC was founded on 28 September 1906. It competed in the Minor Counties Championship from 1907 to 1914 and then again from 1924.



Club history


Lincolnshire has won the Minor Counties Championship twice, and also once shared the title. It won the title outright in 1966 and 2003. It shared the accolade in 2001 with Cheshire.



Knockout Trophy


Lincolnshire has never won the MCCA Knockout Trophy since its inception in 1983.
