Somerset West Cricket Club has been around for 118 years. Somerset West Cricket Club was a founder member of the original Western Province Cricket Association. Records show that there was a friendly match in 1875 at present Vergelegen Medi Clinic site between two British Colonial Sides.

Somerset West Cricket Club is located on the foot of the Helderberg with the Hottentots Holland Mountain range in the distance. A gorgeous setting for cricket - described by cricket commentators as the most beautiful for club cricket in South Africa. Also known as "little newlands" hence the mountain in the background.
