# West Bromwich Dartmouth Cricket Club

West Bromwich Dartmouth Cricket Club is an amateur cricket club in West Bromwich, West Midlands, England. Founded in 1834 it is a founder member of the Birmingham & District Cricket league. Its First XI currently plays in the Premier Division, and its Second XI in the First Division. The Third XI play in the First Division of the Staffordshire Clubs Cricket Championship and the Fourth XI in the Fourth Division. The First XI is captained by former Gloucestershire batsman Kadeer Ali, brother of England international Moeen Ali.

The unusual name "Dartmouth" comes from the original ground residing in the estate of the Earl of Dartmouth – Sandwell Hall. They now play their home games at Sandwell Park, West Bromwich (also within the Earl's old estate), next to Sandwell Park Golf Club and almost opposite The Hawthorns, home to football team, West Bromwich Albion.

They were runners-up to fellow Birmingham League team Old Hill, in the 1993 national club knockout cup final.
