Malibu Cricket Club formerly known as the Mayflower Cricket Club was founded in 1996 by a Los Angeles social cricket legend named Trevor Roper.  Trevor with a colorful group of British expats, formed the Los Angeles Social Cricket Alliance (LASCA) which was comprised of local pubs playing against each other on Sunday's.

​

Players from all over the world have found their "cricket home, away from home" in Los Angeles, thanks to Trevor's ambitious efforts to secure and maintain grounds for us to play.  Scarcity of viable cricket grounds has always been the biggest challenge.  After more than 15 years of service to our social league, Trevor stood down, promoting American-born cricketer Paul Severn to take the reins. 

​

The Mayflower became the L.A. Phantoms which ultimately became the Malibu Cricket Club (officially founded in 2013).  Malibu Cricket is known for our lively and fun natured banter on and off the field, we love to get after it!  As a team we make a real effort to promote and enjoy the social aspects of the game, and this is a big part of what makes our cricket different and enjoyable for all.

​

Our league and team has been greatly blessed by two tireless servants who worked behind the scenes so we could play the game.  Trevor Roper and Clifford Severn are the unsung heroes who laid the foundations.  Their dedication to preparing grounds and promoting cricket, built the platform. Every game we play is living proof of the work they put in, and the sacrifices they made so we could have a home ground at Woodley.

​

Trevor and "Uncle Cliffie" are the truest friends of cricket one could ever have, our club is forever in their debt!
