We
are a group of over 60s and 70s who play games of cricket against
teams of the same age from other areas around Victoria. Our aim is to
have a good time participating in the game of cricket we love and
embracing the friendships that are made with teammates and rivals alike.
We
play games of cricket on Sundays and some Wednesdays from October
through March, as part of the Veterans Cricket Victoria (VCV).
Veterans
cricket opens up a pathway for us to go and represent Victoria at
national championships against teams from the other states. These
championships are an annual event. The next one in November 2022 is
scheduled to be played in the Geelong region.
We also participate in cricket carnivals in Echuca and Mildura.
Our
Club is lucky to be able to use the excellent turf wicket of Stinton
Oval at Queens Park in Highton for many of our home games as well as
other first class grounds around the Geelong region. We are very proud
that we have the best facilities of all the VCV teams.
We
continually look to encourage players aged 60 and over of all
backgrounds and cricket abilities to join us. Our players are from the
Geelong and surrounding areas including the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf
Coast.
