21.01.2022 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT The Club is proud to announce the development of its own turf wicket at Buninyong Recreation Reserve! The Club for the last couple of seasons has worked tirelessly with key stakeholders to advocate and seek the required funds to make this happen. The Club would like to acknowledge contributions made from Cricket Victoria, Cricket Australia, State Government, the Buninyong & District Community Bank and of course the amazing support from our members ...and the wider community. We also thank the Ballarat Cricket Association for it's ongoing support in assisting the Club in reaching this major milestone. Works to install the turf wicket will commence in December 2020, with matches scheduled for use at the start of the 2021/22 season. The turf wicket installation is being managed by the City of Ballarat, and no further cricket matches will be played at Buninyong for the remainder of the season once works commence. As a Club we are very excited by this announcement and one that will certainly go a long way in Buninyong Cricket Club achieving its vision - "to be the best and most respected cricket club in the region, both on and off the field".
