The Thornbury Turf Strokers was formed at the start of the 2009–10 season by a group of cricket-loving friends who entered the team in the MCA C Sunday League. It has since grown into one of the largest clubs within the competition,[citation needed] fielding two teams in the 2011–2012 season: TTS Green and TTS Black. The club achieved its first premiership success in the 2011–12 season when it won the Premiership of the Sunday C Grade competition, winning against one of the oldest cricket clubs in Australia, the Cargenie Cricket Club (established in 1906).
