Poloc Cricket Club

Founded in 1878, Poloc Cricket Club spent its first season on the site of the old Pollokshaws Race Course and in 1880 moved to its current location at Shawholm.

The club's winter golf section was formed in 1889, with bowls, putting and archery being added in the years following.

Full tenancy of the current 6-acre (24,000 m2) site was granted to the club in 1888 by Sir John Stirling-Maxwell, 10th Baronet who continued to be involved in Poloc's affairs until his death in 1956.

The club's junior sides won the WDCJU Under 11, 13 and 15 leagues in 2007, and were beaten finalists in the Under 18 Frank Smith Trophy.

Working predominantly in the Glasgow City Council area coaching was provided to local Primary and Secondary Schools.

In addition, the club, under the umbrella of the Initiative and in partnership with the WDJCU, regularly hosted "Kwik cricket" festivals.

The course – "Wee Poloc" – was a unique challenge, with medals and other club competitions every fortnight throughout the winter golf season.
