 History

First played by the English over 300 years ago, cricket quickly expanded into every continent on the globe.  Cricket was first played in the United States in the "Tidewater" area of Virginia in the early 1700s by wealthy landowners with nothing better to do with their time. The earliest known reference to cricket in Canada is of matches played at Ile-Ste-Helene in the Province of Quebec in the year 1785 on the site where the Montreal Exposition buildings now stand. Historical records do not divulge when cricket was first played in Canada but it is generally assumed that the game was introduced into the country by British soldiers following the historic battle at the Plains of Abraham near Quebec City, between the armies of General Wolfe and General Montcalm in 1759.

Adastrians Cricket Club (ACC) was formed in 1929 in Montreal, Quebec. A number of Royal Air Force from England and local cricketers forming a social team, calling themselves ' The Adastrians '. It was situated at the lower Canada College in Notre Dame des Grace.

The original Adastrians Club formed in 1925. RAF Vine Lane, the home of RAF cricket, is located immediately behind RAF Uxbridge only a few miles from the M25/M40/M4 motorways.
