About Us
Whilst the Harlequins Club was established in 1925, it was not until 1968 that the Harlequins Cricket Section came into being. Otherwise know as 'Cork Harlequins CC',
Cork Harlequins Cricket
Section still boasts one of its founder members as a
contemporary member
- Jack Russell. Jack, now in his mid-sixties, still plays on an occasional basis.
One of the major contributors to the history of
cricket at Harlequins, John Rolf, sadly passed away
in 2007 - he is greatly missed.
The recent history of 'Quins Cricket has been very positive. We currently field
three weekend teams and two mid-week '20/20' teams, and have a membership of some
fourty plus adults, and some thirty or so regular under-18 players.
In 2007 we fielded three teams - one in each of the
three Munster divisions. The 1st team, with an
influx of talent at the start of the season, easily
won the Senior Cup and League - the 'double'. The
2nd team faired much less well, and with two
captains stepping aside during the season, the lack
of continuity meant a second from bottom finish in
the league, and being knocked out of the junior cup
in the first round.
As ever, 2007 saw plenty of midweek ‘20/20’ cricket - but
alas no trophies. 2007 also saw us host a 7-a-side tournament,
for the second successive year, that again was a raging success - both in terms of the cricket enjoyed, and the money
made!!
Also worthy of recent note are the
Irish Lottery grants that we were awarded in both
2002 and 2005. These have greatly helped the
development of our facilities with the addition of a
new artificial wicket to the side of the square, a
new artificial practise net, and, most recently, some
fantastic covers. Our next aim is some top-quality
sight-screens. Any would-be sponsors - please don't
be shy in contacting us!
Finally, as in every year, we played a good number of friendlies against both UK and Irish teams during
2007. These are always enjoyable and we always try to organise hospitality after the games.

CC side, please email  .
