MPCA Girls Cricket
Female Cricket on the Peninsula
It with much excitement that we announce the inaugural Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association Girls’ Cricket Competition for the 2016/17 season.
With a starting line up of 17 clubs, the 2016/17 season will be one of excitement, newness and ‘history’ for the MPCA!
We have had 17 clubs commit to entering a team for the season but if any other club feels, at any stage, that they can field a side also, just let us know and we would be more than happy to include you!
Our Girls Cricket Working Party has been working hard behind the scenes to make this season possible and we are finally ready to launch the competition! A special thanks to anyone who has worked hard to turn this idea into a reality- we recognise that many conversations and ardent advocating has to happen for things to become reality!
Here is a summary for clubs to start sharing with their local communities:

- Tuesday Afternoons 5-7pm
- 8 players per side
- Home and Away games (Fixture TBC)
- Age Groups- 10-13 years and 14-18 years OR a two tier ability-based system OR a two tier ability-based system in BOTH age groups-depending on numbers. This decision will be made once we have a clear indication of numbers from all participating clubs!

ROSEBUD CRICKET CLUB SEEK CAPTAIN FOR 2016/17 SEASON
The Rosebud Cricket Club is seeking expressions of interest for the position of 1st X1 Captain for the 2016/17 season.
Having just won the Sub District 1sts Premiership and being promoted into the District competition, we require the services of a strong leader who will work in with our Senior Coach Jason Mathers to take this promising group of cricketers further.
The Club has 5 Senior Sides and this season all of them made the finals, with 4 going onto play in Grand Finals and 2 coming home with Premierships.
Add to that the Under 16s finishing runners up and the Club is in a strong position on and off the field.
Remuneration is negotiable with the successful applicant.
