Little is known of the early days of cricket at Mallala, but about 1904 Mr Nevan was instrumental in forming a cricket club. A pitch was laid on land just north of the present oval. The land was given by the Church family and Mrs Church bowled the first ball. In 1909 Mallala Peoples Park was formed on land purchased from I. Earl, great-grandfather of R. and K. Earl, and cricket was played there on the new pitch. When the railway came to Mallala in 1916, it passed through the Mallala Peoples Park, so land was purchased from J. Konzag, the great-grandfather of R. Konzag. In approximately 1924 teams were changed to equal strength. W Earl captained the Ramblers and H. Coleman the Wanderers. Between 1940-1944 cricket was suspended. In 1965 the Adelaide Plains Cricket Association founded the Lower Gilbert Association.
In 1971 through the great work by Mr. Kakosche, Mallala had a turf wicket.
