Girls Cricket at KPCC

Matches are played on Friday evening, Saturday morning (Junior) or afternoon (Senior) and run for about 2.5 hours.

In season 21/22 we had Stage 1 and Stage 2 teams playing in the NSJCA (North Shore Junior Cricket Association). The girls had a great time practising the skills they picked up in Cricket Blast, and making new friends.

In season 22/23 we had two Stage 1 teams playing in U11 and U13 competitions.

In season 23/24 we have two girls teams, one playing in the HKHDCA All-Girls Cricket Friday evening competition and an U15 team playing in the NSJCA Stage 2 Saturday afternoon competition.

Older players are welcome to play in our Junior Mixed competition. For women interesting in playing in a Senior team, please contact our Senior VPs.

History

Hornsby Ku-ring-gai & Hills District Cricket Association (HKHDCA) in 1996/97 introduced for the first time a separate Girl’s Competition and KPCC entered two teams, one U/12 and one O/12 (Over 12)

In 2001/02 due to falling numbers, the HKHDCA competition was ended and our teams moved to the NSJCA entering U13 and U16 teams. This continued until 2007/08 season when falling numbers again meant the club could not enter teams.

Girls continued to play cricket in our Junior Mixed competition, played in the HKHDCA association.

2018-present

In season 2018/19 and with support from Cricket NSW, we started a Girls Only Master Blasters program for ages 5 and up which ran at Auluba Oval throughout summer in the evening.

In season 20/21, with players from that program, we were able to enter a Stage 2 team (approx U13) in the NSJCA competition after a 13 year break.

In season 21/22 we continued with our Girls Only Master Blaster program, a Stage 1 and a Stage 2 team.

In season 22/23, our Stage 1 teams (Junior/U11 and Senior/U13) played in the NSJCA competition. The Girls Master Blaster program was again running on Thursday evenings at Auluba Oval.
Our Senior Stage 1 team placed 6th in the competition and won the Cup Division (5th-8th place) Grand Final.

In season 23/24, HKHDCA introduced a Friday evening carnival-like cricket program for girls in the Stage 1 age group. Our Stage 1 team had a massive amount of fun playing cricket under lights. The Stage 1 Senior team from the previous season entered the Stage 2 U15 NSJCA competition and placed 8th, again winning the Cup Division Grand Final.

Cricket NSW started an All Girls Cricket Blast program for 5-10 year old girls, running on Thursday evenings at Auluba Oval, while the older girls train.
