The club would to thank all the Year 7’s who attended training and are returning to play for the club in the coming season. It was very hard to name this Year 7 Premier side and they have named the following 10 players. If you have any questions please contact Shane Young on 021 771 392.
The club would to thank all our returning cricketers and parents for the last term of their Junior Cricket at Burnside. It was very difficult to choose between so many players who have improved over the last year. We are going to name 9 players in the Year 8 Premier Team and there is one player to add which will be confirmed shortly, and if there are any changes players will be brought up. We are waiting for some final registrations before any other teams are finalised. The coaches will be in touch in due course for practice times.

The 2022/23 CMCA 2-Day Championship was won by the BWCUCC Premiers for the first time since 1991/92. It was an emphatic campaign with 4 wins, 1 loss and 2 rain impacted draws.

With Tom Latham playing his first game from the club since 2014 a highlight, and the debuts of Nick Gibb, Tim Seeto, Richard Sillars, Ben Ward, Henry Christie & Rohan Thompson other notable moments.

At the clubs 117th Annual General Meeting on Tuesday the 27th September 2022, long serving club member Peter Isle was awarded Life Membership of the cricket club. Peter was not aware he was going to be up for life membership, and it took a bit of planning with his sister Tricia both to keep it a secret as well as to get Peter to come along to the AGM.

You may have seen that our registrations are open for the coming season, the move to the new “PlayHQ” means that if you wish to keep any stats from previous years you will need to fill in your CricHQ ID number and I have attached a list of last year’s numbers.
Because of the school holiday dates and that the junior cricket starts back just after the school holidays it is really helpful if you register as soon as you can.
