Head of Cricket - Mr Craig de Beer

Cricket is a summer sport played in the 1st and 4th term. Cricket is offered to boys from Grade 1 and onwards. From under 9, boys enjoy competitive cricket where they play matches against local schools. The under 9 boys playing mini-cricket play matches against other schools, which introduces them to the basics of the game. Cricket is voluntary and is organized into juniors and seniors.

Seniors

The seniors consist of four teams. U13A - C teams play a longer version of the game during the week as well as on Saturday mornings. The U13D and E teams only play on a Wednesday afternoon.

Juniors

Our juniors are organised on a similar basis, six teams who play matches. The U11A and B teams play matches on Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings. The U11C team only plays on a Thursday afternoon. Under 10A and B teams play the shorter T20 format on Thursday afternoons. Our under 9’s are divided into two sections. Mini-cricket matches are played on Tuesdays and hardball T20 cricket matches on Wednesday afternoons.
