Representing Greenwich which was then in Kent, the original Greenwich Cricket Club was prominent in the 18th century, taking part in known important matches from 1730 to 1767. According to surviving records, the team used a now unknown location in nearby Blackheath for its home matches. Greenwich teams are recorded, either individually or jointly with other clubs, in eight known important matches.[1]
