History
The club was founded in 1999 to advance the interests of the East Sunbury sporting community. The group is responsible for the development of cricket, football and netball within the community.
East Sunbury was a growing new estate that parents wanted an outlet for their children. A committee was created and the sporting club was formed. As new houses were built and occupied with new families the demand for the facilities increased. When the children matured into adulthood until the club had enough adults to compete in a senior competition. In 2009 a cricket club was formed.[1]
