These records have been gathered to celebrate the combination of 70 years of Cornwood CC, 40 years of Cornwood playing in the DCL and the First XI's 750th fixture. They have been collated from scorecards (respect to Barbara Marshall), play cricket, and newspaper records. These records are from DCL League matches only, cup and club games are not included. The records are accurate as far as possible but there may be mistakes and omissions. Particularly for the years 2001-2012, there are gaps in the record. If you spot something that doesn't seem right, or you have archive material about the club that you would like to share, please contact via the club.
