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.
This season has been a fantastic one for Lindfield Junior Cricket, both on and off the field. We saw strong growth in our numbers and were thrilled to welcome the Cricket Blast competition back to Lindfield Oval.
This year, Lindfield Junior Cricket proudly welcomed over 460 cricketers, up from 360 last season. With a total of 42 teams from Cricket Blast to U17s, plus our U7 Skills Clinic participants, the club has been buzzing with energy and enthusiasm.
It was a fantastic season! Across our competition teams (U10–U17), we had:
4 Championship Teams - finishing 1st overall
2 teams finish 2nd
13 out of 30 competition teams finish in the top 4
A brilliant result for the teams and for the club - congratulations!
And don’t worry... the next season will be here before we know it!
PRESENTATION DAY On 15 March we celebrated another great season at our annual Junior Presentation Day. Click here to view all our Club Award winners for this season.
