Its First XI currently plays in the Premier Division Two of BDPCL.

The First XI is captained by Ian Stevenson who has represented the club for over a decade. The Second XI is captained by Manoj Patel, Third XI by Hiren Dhoolab and Fourth XI by Dharmesh Patel.

The unusual name "Dartmouth" comes from the original ground residing in the estate of the Earl of Dartmouth – Sandwell Hall. They now play their home games at Sandwell Park, West Bromwich (also within the Earl's old estate), next to Sandwell Park Golf Club and almost opposite The Hawthorns, home to football team, West Bromwich Albion.

They were runners-up to fellow Birmingham League team Old Hill, in the 1993 national club knockout cup final.
