HISTORY OF MALMÖHUS CRICKET CLUB
Malmöhus Cricket Club was founded in 1993 by Eric Folker, Samath Ohlén and Ramesh Paul.

It soon became apparent that there was an interest for cricket in Malmö and the size of the squad soon grew to 25-30 players covering a range of nationalities (8 in all).

1994 Malmöhus entered the Swedish national league and the inaugural match was against Mariestad CC on the 7th of May. The match was played at Malmöhus CC's home ground, Limhamnsfältet, which is located just a few hundred meters from the city beach. The pitch was completed on Wednesday 4th May, just 3 days before the match.

Malmöhus CC won the match by 40 runs.
