A crowd of over 100 at Saturday’s annual presentation night, heard the club once again fielded teams in each of the four grades of the NSW Women’s Premier Cricket Competition – first, second and third grades and U18 Brewer Shield.
Club president Rob Smith said they also fielded teams in the NSW Women’s Premier Cricket Competition and supported the Bankstown District Cricket Association (BDCA) in fielding a team in the U15 Sixers Cricket League (SCL) as well as contributing players in the Youth Championships representative teams and Senior Elite Teams.
“Congratulations to Ashleigh Gardner on once again representing Australia including being part of the T20 World Cup winning team as well as being a Marquee Player in the inaugural Indian Premier League (IPL) for Women’s cricket, a fantastic achievement,” he said.
“Congratulations also to Erin Burns, Katie Mack, Maddie Penna, Angelina Genford and Jannatul Sumona for playing in the WNCL and WBBL08 this season.
“The club has continued to focus on player development and it was pleasing to see younger players continuing to move through to play games in higher grades where they generally performed very well.”
