On behalf of the Junior Cricket Committee here at Gordon Junior Cricket Club I extend a warm welcome to all new boys and girls and their families who are joining us for the first time. It will be a great cricketing experience for you all. Learning new skills, making new friends and playing cricket games in the true Gordon Spirit. To all those players and families returning to Gordon cricket for another season I sincerely thank you for your loyalty and support of this great cricket club – a club that is focussed on sportsmanship, friendship and providing equal opportunity for all boys and girls.

What a fantastic season for Gordon Junior Cricket Club in 2023/24 and one of the most successful in the club’s history. The weather held up and most teams only lost a few rounds to rain across the 18-week season. There were some very strong team performances throughout the season resulting in 6 minor premierships. Four teams going on to take out major grand finals and claim the premiership. Congratulations to the U11 Red, U11/12 Div 3 Green, U13 T20 Green and U15 T20 Green.

This season Woolworths continue as the major sponsor of junior cricket in Australia and the work Cricket Australia and Cricket NSW have done in the off season will ensure we have great learning and development pathways for our junior Cricketers. This year at Gordon Juniors we will aim to have at least 20 teams compete in the North Shore Junior Cricket Association (NSJCA) competitions with age groups from 5 to 17.
