Location crisis 2022[edit]
The current location of Sandyford CC in Marlay Park is also the location where the Longitude Festival is held each year. After the 3 concerts and 3 days of Longitude Festival in 2022, the outfield was left in ruins and in a state that was unfit to play cricket. This gained significant social media traction.[10]
As of September 2022, Sandyford Cricket Club and the Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council are working to move the cricket ground to a new location in keeping with the Marlay Park Master Plan.[11]
