Gorseinon Cricket Club shares its home location with Gorseinon Rugby Club and is situated at the Welfare Ground just off Lime Street in Gorseinon town centre, near Swansea. It was founded in approximately between 1893 and 1903 and has recently celebrated its centenary year in 2003. The ground was given to the cricket and rugby clubs by the then British Steel Corporation for use of sporting facilities only. It was bought from BSC for a nominal sum in the 1960's by a social section made up of members from both sports clubs which was formed to organise a social club and running costs.

The Cricket Club has in the past paid professional players, most notably in the 1970's such as Albert Wright and a cricketer who would eventually go on to play for England by the name of Chris Smith ( who's brother Robin would also play for England ).

More recently we've seen Gorseinon product Aneurin Donald play for England U17 and U19 and also be awarded a full time contract with Glamorgan CCC and now currently plays for Hampshire CCC.

It is thanks to the generosity of sponsors, donators and playing & non-playing members that were able to keep going season after season. The club has won many trophies in its lifetime, most notably in 2018 when our 1XI won the SWCA Div 1 title and the SWCA KO Cup. The club currently boasts firsts and seconds and thirds who play in the South Wales Cricket Association. Our junior teams compete in the South Wales Junior Cricket League, and the future aims of the club is the ongoing development of the ground and playing facilities, and the development of our junior teams and the aspirations of the senior teams.

in 2023 we recently completed the construction of our own bar and now for the very first time we are self sufficient and in control of our own future with confidence.
