Some exciting news for our U10 players! The ECA alongside Cricket Victoria have introduced a new format. This means playing with fewer players and everyone getting a fair go at playing the game and developing their skills. In 2017-18, we are looking to build on the girls success last season and hopefully we will be entering two girls team into the Anna Lanning Shield Competition (U13s and U15s). Also, this season all home games will be played at Macleay Park. Thank you to all those parents who completed our survey, after listening to what you said, we have made the following changes, v U18s will have a designated coach v If we use a ground outside of Macleay Park for home games, teams will rotate, so everyone will get some home games at Macleay Park v We will aim to place more players in a team, meaning less movement between teams and players get to stay together and develop as a team.

Aimed at 10 to 17-year-olds, Anna Lanning Shield will help bridge the gap for female participation opportunities between MILO T20 Blast and Bartercard Premier Cricket. The main goal of this all girls’ competition is first and foremost that the girls have fun, have something to look forward to each week, and then develop their skills while growing their love and understanding of the game. “Having the competition named after Anna Lanning is also great because it will help create a connection and it will show the girls what’s possible in this sport.” “Anna is a very good young player who has represented her state and is an outstanding leader” ECA Junior Chairman Richard Barker said. NBCC entered it’s first team in the Anna Lanning Shield last season and the girls had an amazing season, reaching the Grand Final. With many clubs already participating in the competition, the ECA, CV and NBCC are hoping to recruit more girls this coming season. The eight week Anna Lanning Shield begins on Wednesday 18th October (Date TBC) with away games at Hislop Park in Balwyn North and home games at Macleay Park from 5pm.
