History
The club was borne from an amalgamation of Marist Newman Old Boys (MNOB) and Subiaco Women's Cricket Club in 2000. Women's and men's teams have won seven championships since the amalgamation [1]. Prior to this year, Subiaco Women's Cricket Club had been crowned state champions on 24 occasions. Eight women from SWCC/SMCC have represented Australia [2],[3][4][5],[6][7][8],[9],[10]. MNOB had laid claim to 11 premierships during their shorter history [11]. Three SMCC players have represented England at test level [12][13][14][15]
Colours and Insignia
The colours of the club are a combination of dark and pale blue (inherited from MNOB) and claret (from Subiaco). The symbol of SMCC is a stylised shield, representing the united and resilient spirit of all Subiaco Marist "warriors".
