Dartford players were reckoned by Robert Harley , writing in his diary in 1723 , to "lay claim to the greatest excellence" among English cricketers.

The club played a number of big matches against London and, in 1756, they were involved in a tri-series against the sport's rising power, the Hambledon Club .

Dartford produced several famous players in the 18th century including cricket's earliest known great player William Bedle . Later players included William Hodsoll , John Bell , John Frame and E G Wenman .
