What a Summer of Cricket! It's great to be back in 2026!

Cricket is back at Summer Hill Cricket Club, with Juniors and Seniors back playing in 2026. With both hot and wet weather, it's been a delayed start for the Seniors, but cricket in Summer is what we live for!

Blasters is back up and running with 2 weeks now gone. last Friday, Feb 6th, starting at 5pm at Pratten Park, Ashfield. We've got 4 weeks to go, and it's not too late to register online here.

It's so great to see our Blasters and u9 kids training at Pratten Park each Friday afternoon - it is a thing of beauty, blue skies or grey.

And who can forget Channel 7's Summer of Cricket Season Launch at Pratten Park in November - and what a Summer it was for Australia, with a truly memorable 4-1 Series win.

We were so lucky to have Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon join us in the morning, along with the Channel 7 Sunrise crew and Commentary team, including Mel McLaughlin, Lisa Sthaleker and Trent Copeland.
