Of these Alf, George and Arthur have sadly passed on. Peter still keeps his interests in the club via his son Rohan Connell who is currently the club Chairman and a key part of the second team. Richard is the current President and since retiring from playing also umpires in the league as the Clubs nominated umpire.

The Club operated one league team until a second team was formed for the 1991 season then subsequently a third team was formed for the 2001 season. The third team played the 2001 season in the Sheffield and District League before moving into the Bassetlaw and District Cricket League for the 2002 season.

The 1st's and 2nd's Teams have played at the Recreation Ground Woodsetts since 1973 and 1991 respectively, but moved to play at the Cricket Ground, Shireoaks from 2001 whilst the 3rd Team and Juniors (from 2001 - 2008) played at Woodsetts. From the 2008 season the 2nd team moved back to Woodsetts with the 3rd team leaving just the 1st Team playing at Shireoaks.
