An eight-a-side competition is starting for under 10s in mid-February, with five teams from NSW far north towns such as Ballina, Lennox Head, Bangalow and Alstonville.
Monday evenings
Cricket NSW said in a media release, ‘The competition will be held on Monday evenings at 5pm, played on synthetic pitches, with players bringing in their own equipment or the club providing them’.
Jacob Graham, CNSW Cricket Manager, Far North Coast, said, ‘The term one programs are designed to provide a great junior cricketing experience to children that are excited to play cricket after watching the Australian cricketers etching their amazing wins this summer and want to try the game’.
Graham added, ‘The short, sharp match formats are designed for our young players to start their cricketing journeys and be able to play and love cricket for life.’
Cricket NSW say the comps are for the children that missed the start of the season, ‘or have been inspired after seeing their heroes on TV’.
All programs are still accepting registrations. For more information visit www.cricketnsw.com.au.
