History
The Malteenoes Sports Club was founded in the year 1902. Its first President, Mr. Ferdinand Christopher Archer a master tailor, a Barbadian who came to the then British Guiana during his infant years. At age eighteen (18) he recognised  the need foe an alternative organization to provide the badly needed recreational and  social requirements of the underprivileged working class, who could not access membership at the more reserved GCC and BGCC Clubs. The club was initially located at Camp Street, eve Leary where the Police  Commissioner’s Residence now stands. With the militarisation of  Eve Leary during the Second World War, The Ground was absorbed into the military zone and Malteenoes relocated to its present location, with freehold ownership of its land. Malteenoes Sports Club fulfilled its perceived role during those formative years by providing young men and women with the opportunity to participate actively in a variety of Sports including football, cricket, hockey, tale tennis, dominoes, badminton and scrabble.

Amongst those excelled at the highest level of sports were Charlie Jones, John Trim, Glendon Gibbs, Rex Collymore, Barrington Browne, Clayton Lambert, Kenneth Wong, Colin Stewart, Pat Legall, George Green, Pat Britton, Dennis France, W.G Griffith, Crawley Hunte, Rita Braithwaite, and Iris Straker. Also Joseph “Pirate” Alexander, Rudolph Harper, Rex Mc Kay, Claude Raphael and Edward Richmond, all of whom have made excellent contributions by serving and participating in sports at the national administrative level.

Over the past twenty (20) years Malteenoes has been foremost in the promotion and development  of youth cricket. Our youth programme of 1984 fueled the intense youth cricket drive that produced a constant crop of very competitive young cricketers. The high point of this programme saw the Cricket Academy initiative being formalized at Malteenoes from July 1993  to date.

It follows, that the on and off field performances of  Malteenoes members throughout the years have been extremely influential in the improvement and development of sports in general and cricket in particular. In this regard the club has continued to perform its role despite the many obstacles encountered throughout the passage of time, whilst assisting in the  ignitiation, promotion and development of sports, as a means of educating our young people, and directing their energies and efforts into meaningful activity.
