Recruiting now for 20/21 Season

Have you ever wanted to play a team sport? In an all inclusive, fun and welcoming environment? Look no further. The Aberfeldie Cricket Club fielded our first ever female cricket sides last season – and we had an absolute blast. You don’t need to know how to play cricket – we take beginners to experienced players and have multiple teams that play across different divisions. It is a fun way to meet new people and try a new sport.

JOIN OUR FEMALE CRICKET TEAM
We have an amazing team of people who support female cricket – and we are excited to see more females take the field this coming season.

Register your interest with our Team Manager Cameron West today via phone or email! Feel free to send through any questions as well!

Cricket News – Grand Finals Cancelled and Other News

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Cricket Division would like to provide an update given the current situation.

This morning the VTCA made the ruling that they would be calling off the conclusion to all Grand Final matches immediately. This is a view our club supported and recommended.

Whilst this is not an ideal situation we felt we had a social responsibility to uphold and protect our players, officials and supporters from any possibility contamination or pass on that this virus may present.

At this point in time the VTCA have not come to a decision as to the awarding of non 1st innings resulted matches which of course our teams were part of. This decision will be made in the next couple of days.

It’s a really sad way to finish what has been an exceptional year for our club. However, the health and safety of our community is our number one priority.

We have also decided to postpone the Junior and Senior Cricket Presentation nights. More details to come once we can reschedule these events.

The Cricket Division will not be opening the club for any further events for gatherings.

If you have any queries please contact Sarah Gray (0430 185 840) or Paul West (0425 705 859) direct, and we would be happy to discuss.

Statement: Redevelopment of Clifton Park

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

It is with much excitement that I can announce Moonee Valley City Council have endorsed a new pavilion for Clifton Park to be completed in 2022/23.

The planning and design phase of the development is set for 2021/22.

We would like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to the Moonee Valley City Council, led by Mayor Narelle Sharpe, and look forward to working with all stakeholders in the coming months and years.

This is a tremendous result for the Aberfeldie Sports Club. I want to acknowledge the tireless work of our board, and indeed our broader membership base in promoting the pressing need for a facility at Clifton Park befitting a community club of our size and diversity.

We will endeavour to communicate news on the new development to our members and supporters as it comes to hand, and will ensure we work collaboratively with Council to deliver the best facility for our club.

Yours Sincerely,

Jim Pound

Chairman,

Aberfeldie Sports Club
