History

The club was established in 1959 as Norton Cricket Club Trust by members of Norton Cricket Club seeking a winter pastime, and joined the Teesside League. They won the Durham Minor Cup in 1967–68, and went on to win the North Riding Amateur Cup three times and the Teesside League Cup once.^[1]

In 1980 Stockton were wound up. As their remaining assets were transferred to Norton, the two clubs merged, taking their current name.
