Middle Swan Cricket Club Founded in 1878 by C.W. We have a dream that one day we'll see a return of the ladies.

Proudly established in 1878, mere throws from our current home, the Middle Swan CC 78s continue building on our proud tradition of on-field success, whilst making sure we can have just as much fun together off the field as well. Ferguson of Houghton Vineyards, the Middle Swan 78s Cricket Club (MSCC) is one of WA’s oldest Clubs, the oldest continuous club and has a long and proud association with the Swan Valley Region. MSCC’s Home Ground is named after local identity Jack Mann who as well as being a Life Member and former President of the Club was the father of Australian Test Cricketer, Tony Mann. Along with Tony, former Club Members Keith Slater and Wally Edwards also played for Australia whilst Tony Mateljan, Dennis Yagmich and Glen Thomas all represented Western Australia. Over the years, MSCC has also produced numerous First Grade West Australian Cricket Association (WACA) players and Swan Helena District Cricket Association (SHDCA) Representative Players. The Club formed a Ladies Team back in 1956 with Millie and May Brajkovich making it into the WA Squad to play against the visiting English Women's Team. Middle Swan has one of the most successful Swan Helena Districts competition records having won a total of 26 A Grade, 1 A Reserve, , 5 B Grade, 1 C and 1 E Grade Premierships - An impressive 34 in total

Since the Swan Helena and Perth Cricket Association's merged the club now is proud to compete in the Perth Swan Cricket Association (PSCA), with a couple of titles with our new Association. In 2025/2026 (our 148th season) we have registered 2 senior men's teams in the C and H grade One Day competitions in the PSCA and welcome players of ages, and abilities to be a part of our future history.

ROUND ONE RECAP

A mixed bag to start the season with one win and one loss. B Grade sealed a crushing win inside 20 overs thanks to an outstanding spell with the ball from Josh and aggressive half-centuries from Geoff and Rhiarn. H Grade endured a tougher start to the season, being bowled out for 68. A tidy spell from Will made sure Coolbinia didn't have it all their own way in the chase.
Onwards and upwards.

New Season, New Grades, New Captains, New Logo and not 1 or 2, not 3 or 4 but 8, yes that's 8 new players are officially becoming members of the 78's long and proud history.

We welcome them all to the club.

After a longer than usual pre-season and a wet last training session to wrap up the proceedings we are feeling confident as we go into Week 1 in both the foundations being laid and the relationships being formed.

To compliment our 8 debutants we welcome back our old friends and players, who have a wealth and depth of experience to support the skills and talents of our new (and younger) recruit.

We look forward to seeing big crowds at Yokine and our home Jack Mann to cheer on both our sides as they open the season.

Post game presentations for both of our grades will be held at 7pm at Jack Mann Oval - Come and join us!
