Set up in 1968 by the Gujarati Samaj of San Francisco as the Gujarat Samaj
Cricket Club, the Spartan Cricket Club, has over the years grabbed every
opportunity to play cricket. Spartan today boasts more than 40 players on its roster.
Spartan has been an active contributor to the Northern California Cricket Association (NCCA). In 1983, it pushed for the creation of the B division, and set up its second team. The Spartan Cricket Club sponsors the majority of the B Division trophies. |

 Spartan CC fields two teams in the Northern California league. Last year the
first team (Spartan-I) was in the B-Division and Spartan-II was in the
C-Division.
Spartan-I performed creditably to finish #2 in the B-Div and got promoted to the A-Div!!! Spartan-II finished somewhere in the lower half of the C-Div |

Atul Mehta - A former Ranji Trophy player from Bombay, he has been the
mainstay of our batting for years.
Ramesh Padmanabhan- He is arguably the most technically accomplished batsman in the league. He has played for the NCCA team in the past. Jitu Patel- An explosive allrounder (LH bat & RH fast bowler); he could turn a game around single-handedly. One of the most economical bowlers in the league. Rajesh Patanaik - Captain, opening bat and wicketkeeper, he has been adjudged the best wicketkeeper in the division for the last three years in succession. Amit Patel - He has developed into a genuine all-rounder with a lethal inswinger. Was the highest wicket-taker for the club last year.
