Mention Falkland Cricket Club and cricket lovers conjure up village cricket as it should he and so it has been since the club was founded in 1860.
The present field and wicket was laid down in 1948 by the generosity of the late Major Michael Crichton-Stuart. Other grounds which have been used by the club have been Lower Scroggie and the Palace Orchard.
According to records in 1904 a mere 16 games were played, whereas today there are nearly 90 fixtures on the card covering the three senior Xl's and the three junior teams. The clubhouse was built in 1957 by the combined efforts of Major Michael Crichton-Stuart and the late Sandy Bonthrone ably assisted by many members and friends. Alterations took place in 1968 and 1981 with major refurbishments in 1992 and 2001/02 again all done with the help of members and supporters.
In 1979 the club joined the East League, prior to this all matches had been friendlies. The club progressed through the four divisions of the East League and were in a position to Join the Scottish Cricket League in 1996 and hence the National Cricket League in 1998.
Notable past achievements include reaching the Scottish finals of the Village Cup in 1976,1980 and 1984, we are now excluded from the competition because of having a paid player/coach. Victories in the Fife K.O. Cup took place 1975, 80, 93, and 99, we were runners up in 1983, 84, and 94.
In 2002, Falkland achieved its first national honour, when they won the S.C.U. Trophy beating St. Boswells in the final by 81 runs.
In 2009 the club won the Second Division of the SNCL, and in 2010, they celebrated their 150 years with a series of events including a Festival of Cricket with two other Falklands - one in Berkshire and one in the Falkland Islands
