Largo Cricket Club in its current form began 40 years ago this year in 1983, rising from the ashes of a team in the area in the 1940s and 50s. The idea was born in the Railway Inn in Lower Largo to form a team to play friendly fixtures around the local area, and generally to provide a club with a fun ethos for the locals of Largo, many of whom would have been newcomers to the game. Pete Norton Yorkshire bred, but now living in Largo, stuck notices around the village to gauge interest. Soon after, a pitch was sourced at Silverburn Park which, after some major work by the founding members of the club, the wicket fit to play on the 13th August, and Largo as a club was up and running.
