History of North Mymms Cricket Club 

• North Mymms Cricket Club was founded in 1861 when the Church, supported by the local gentry, encouraged the playing of cricket as a means of keeping men contented and out of the public houses during the daylight hours when they were not at work.

• By the late 1870’s competitive cricket had become an established feature of life and by 1900 there were 3 cricket clubs in the Parish, including North Mymms Cricket Club.  
• After the 1914-18 war North Mymms became the only established Cricket Club, utilising the playing strength from the 3 clubs that had previously existed.
