Club History
From the humble origins of a works side (Laidlaw Drew) the club has evolved and developed into one of the leading clubs in Edinburgh and have played for several years now in the Scottish National Cricket League.
Formed in 1957 we played our home matches at Union Park in Corstorphine until 2003, when we moved to the ground of the Royal High School in Barnton.
The club was originally known as 'Elldee Cricket Club' and played their matches at Sighthill under this banner until 1974.
In that year Carricknowe & Corstorphine CC who played at Union Park went defunct and the 'Elldee' team acquired a new ground and renamed themselves for the 1975 season as Corstorphine Cricket Club.
The Club continued to play here until a recent merger of the Royal High and Corstorphine Rugby Clubs saw the club make a further change and a move to Barnton.
We have now joined with the Royal High Sports Club, to become Royal High Corstorphine, or RHC.
In 2012 we will be running three senior teams.
The 1st XI will be playing their 9th straight season of National League cricket, in the Scottish Cricket League - Eastern First Division. Recent success came in 2009 when they succesfully won the Masterton Trophy.
The 2nd XI will continue to play a high level of local cricket in Division 3 of the East of Scotland League
Our 3rd XI - which is a careful balance of experienced old players, enthusiastic youngsters and the odd ringer - was reborn in 2006. Having gained promotion from Div 8 in 2008 they find themselves in East League Division 7.
Our Junior section goes from strength to strength and was recognised in 2010 when Stephen Sadler won a National Coaching award.
We are also one of the few clubs in Scotland to offer Womens and Girls cricket. It's still early stages for womens cricket in Scotland and we aim to be a leader in promoting and encouraging participation in the sport.
The club is on the up. Our 55th year promises many things. Hopefully it will bring success to all of our sides!
