25.01.2022 It is with sadness that we heard of the passing of former FRCC player Don Parkinson, whose son David played in one of our 3rd grade teams the season just gone. Our condolences go out to Dave and the rest of Dons family.

Remember to enjoy yourselves, play the game in the right spirit and always show respect and appreciation to your coaches and captains. To our coaches, thank you all for the contribution to all our juniors young lives. It is greatly appreciated. Thank you. GG and all the FRCC family.

12.01.2022 Good luck to our Woolworths Blasters who begin their season at Don't Worry Oval this afternoon. Some are having their 2nd or 3rd seasons in the program, while others are just beginning their cricket journeys. Either way, they're sure to have plenty of fun and will learn some new skills in their preparation for under 10s in the coming seasons.

12.01.2022 Woolworths Blast Unfortunately, with the grounds closed until at least Thursday, our Woolworths Blasters are going to have to have the week off, but will hopefully get back out there next Wednesday, weather permitting.

11.01.2022 The first 6 rounds of the draw are up. http://hdca.nsw.cricket.com.au/common//public/rv/draw.aspx

09.01.2022 We’ve ordered more junior playing shirts, but these are still a few weeks away. Could any parent of a junior player who needs a shirt let us know what size you need in the comments please? We still have a few in stock, so you might be lucky.

09.01.2022 What a start to the season for our under 10s. At 5 o'clock on the Thursday afternoon before their first game of the season (and first game of cricket for 98% of the team!), they had 4 players and were borrowing eligible under 10s from the under 11s, but had no coach. Half an hour or so later, they had 7 players of their own, thanks to one of the Mums in the side who knew where to look for kids looking for a game of cricket (thanks Rachel Garrow!). Then our young curator Darcy... Anderson stepped up and said he could fill the coaching vacancy in his "spare time", much to our relief and appreciation. The side trotted out onto Peel Park on Saturday against a Schofields team who had every right to feel confident, but they were undone by the spirited Freemans Reach (and an up and coming young star on loan from the under 11s!) to register their first win from their first game, lead by Aarush Shah who hit 6 sixes in his 35 and had great performances from Tommy Tabet, son of FRCC legend Chris, Zac and Evie Garrow, children of FRCC premiership player Andrew, under 10s veteran, the returning young gun, Angus Callaghan, the newest Greentree (another one!), Riley and Isla Pinnoy, who only joined the club on Thursday. The team, who now has 8 players, will play their next match tomorrow against Pitt Town out at Pitt Town Sports Club. Good luck and welcome to FRCC. You've already done the club and yourselves proud!

05.01.2022 Woolworths Blasters! With lightening around and a storm approaching, we’ve made the call to cancel our final Woolworths Blasters session for the season. Thank you to everyone who supported the program with us for the 8 weeks and a big thanks also to those parents who helped out.

03.01.2022 Annual General Meeting - 16th of June starting at 7pm at Freemans Reach Hall.

02.01.2022 What a great performance by our unders 13s Maroons Neel Patel, who was clearly Man of the match against Pitt Town out at South Maroota. Neel’s bowling figures were 5 for 18 from 5 overs. Neel is pictured here with his proud Dad, who's also the teams scorer and a just as proud coach, Stewart Hayne. Neels outstanding performance went a long way to ensuring the side picked up their first win for what's been a tough season for them so far.

02.01.2022 Exciting news for girls from Cricket NSW!
