Wrap Up - Junior Season 2024/25

Hello Lindfield Junior Cricket Families,



Here is a roundup of the season just gone and what’s been happening behind the scenes at Lindfield Cricket.



For the 2024/25 season we had over 370 junior cricketers take the field — from our U7 Skills crew to our U17s. We hope everyone had a great time playing, improving their skills, and enjoying the game.

It was a fantastic season! Across our competition teams (U10–U17), we had:

• 3 Championship Teams - finishing 1st overall

• 5 teams finish 2nd

• 12 out of 24 teams finish in the top 4

A brilliant effort and result from all teams — congratulations!

And don’t worry... the next season will be here before we know it!



PRESENTATION DAY We battled the heat on 16 March to celebrate another great season at our annual Presentation Day. It was a fantastic afternoon at the Lindfield Clubhouse.
