In 1979, Cliftonville merged with Greenisland Cricket Club (founded 1930), continuing to play at Mallusk until a move to new facilities at Greenisland in 1990. In 2007, however, the owners of the Greenisland pitch, Greenisland War Memorial Sports Club, decided to replace the cricket pitch with an artificial hockey pitch and for the 2008 season, Cliftonville had to play all its matches away from home. Since 2009, the club has returned to Mallusk. In 2017, the club merged with Academy Cricket Club to form a new club called Cliftonville Academy Cricket Club. (en)
