Maddington Cricket Club was the first cricket club formed in the Southern River - Gosnells region, with records of competition success in the Lakes Districts in early 1900s.

The first official sporting event in the District was horse racing at the Canning Park Turf Club which was situated on land very close to where the Maddington Recreation Reserve Oval in Kelvin Road currently stands.

The South Suburban Cricket Association (SSCA) was formed in 1913; and in 1997 the SSCA amalgamated with the Fremantle and District Mercantile Association to form the now South Metropolitan Cricket Association.

Maddington won the A Grade or 1st Grade SSCA premierships in following seasons
1913/14 ;
1937/38 ;
1954/55 (Capt : Fred Harris) ;
1975/76 (Capt: Ken Baxter) ;
1989/90 (Capt: Chris Patience).

The Club went into recess during the First World War reforming in 1921/22 season. Other now prominent Clubs in the District formed in the following years.

In the early 1960s, Maddington had only two seniors' teams and one juniors' team (u/16s); but that had increased markedly by 1970s.

In the 1980s-1990s, the Club had upto 6 seniors' teams and upto 6 juniors teams, and although numbers have declined in recent years, rebuilding has commenced.

The juniors' teams now play in the South East Metropolitan Junior Cricket Council zone.
