Washington CC Sports Quiz team started life as the
Philadelphia CC B team - formed when Philadelphia had enough members to
create two teams.
The Philadelphia B team continued to use the Bunker Hill
ground as their home base until 2006, when the members decided to move
to a venue in Washington - as the majority of players had at sometime
played for Washington CC, it was decided that it would be an
appropriate home for them.
Whilst new facilities at the cricket club were under
construction, the Stella Maris club in Washington and the Museum Vaults
in Sunderland were used as home venues, during the 2006-7 season.
The 2007-8 season saw the team move to their current venue at
the home of the Durham Coast League team Washington CC.
