INTRODUCTION
Between the 1870's and 1900 there were a
number of cricket teams in existence around Pelsall, these being
White Rose, Red Rose, Weslyans, White Star and Pelsall Unity,
to name just a few. All of these teams eventually faded away.
There was one team however, which was always
considered to be the premier club of Pelsall, and from which
our present club originates.
The name of this team was Pelsall Albion
Cricket Club, later to become:
Pelsall Cricket & Sports Club.
