Hello Lindfield Junior Cricket Families,
Here is a round up of the season just gone and some information on what's been happening in the Lindfield Cricket world in the past couple of months.
For the 2023/24 season Lindfield registered over 360 junior cricketers. We trust all our players from U7 Skills through to our U17s had a fantastic season. In our competition teams (U10-U17s) we had two teams finish 1st overall and another six in 2nd place. We had 11 out of 24 teams finish on the ladder in the top 4!
A brilliant result for the teams and for the club and a great season of cricket by all, congratulations! But not to worry, it won't be too long before we're back again ;)
PRESENTATION DAY
On the 17th March we celebrated the successes of all our teams and players at our presentation day at the Lindfield Clubhouse. Click here to view all our Club Award winners for this season.
We had the additional bonus of watching our Lindfield Seniors playing on home turf and showing the pathway for our cricketers - from cradle to grave!

PATHWAY FROM JUNIOR TO SENIORS CRICKET
Our club pathway from Juniors Cricket is to Lindfield Seniors who participate in the NSW Shires competition. Steve Watts our Club President will be happy to answer any questions you may have if you are keen to join them. (Email us)
PLANNING AHEAD
As we finish one season the committee turns its focus towards discussing the season that was, and planning ahead for the season that will be. We would love to hear from our cricket community:
Any thoughts or comments you may have on how you feel we could improve the junior’s operation, its communications, coaching, player development, social events, anything really!
All constructive feedback is welcome (Email us).
