New York Metropolitan & District Cricket Association Founded in 1879, 2011 marks the 132nd anniversary of the New York Metropolitan and District Cricket Association (Metropolitan League) - one of the oldest and most vibrantly successful leagues in the country. To put that in historical perspective, test cricket began just two years prior to that in 1877, and at that time, only two countries – England and Australia - played test cricket. The seeds of the Metropolitan League were sowed by English expatriates who brought with them to America their love and passion for the Gentleman’s Game. The founding member clubs of the Metropolitan League were: Fairmount, General Electric CC (Philadelphia), Patterson CC (New Jersey), Brooklyn CC and Staten Island CC. The majority of the players in the Philadelphia area were immigrants from Yorkshire and Nottingham. The First President was the Reverend W.S. Rainford and with him on the first Executive Board were C.A. McNully, Jerome Flannery, Harry Manley, and Clifford Turner.
