25.01.2022 Hi Folks, I am sad to announce that our current season has been declared officially closed. I have been informed that all individual Club gatherings, whether training or playing, wind-ups etc are to be postponed So, the windup has been cancelled for now, and the handing out of trophies and awards may happen at coaches & team discretion. Our AGM will more than likely be held at the start of next season and for those awaiting district nominations, the MGCC will advise a decision on junior district trials shortly. Thanks for a great season. I trust all children/players enjoyed themselves and has some success on and off the field.

22.01.2022 Well the cricket season is about to start. We have full teams in 14s,15s which is great news. We could do with a few more in the 10s team. We are going to be having 2 x 11s teams so could do with a couple more in this age group. As for the Junior and Master Blaster formats (formerly In2cricket & T20) we are still looking for keen cricketers and at this stage it could be run on a Friday afternoon. The season will be starting on the weekend of the 21st/22nd of Oct and we wish all players a successful and fun season ahead.The Master Blaster format to possibly start on the 29th Oct If you havent already registered please go online and register: https://playcricket.com.au/club-finder/club-details

12.01.2022 A quick message to let you know the Glen Forrest Junior Cricket Club is now participating the Kidsport Program. This initiative by the local government is aimed at providing financial assistance to families where a child may not otherwise play a sport through financial hardship. Please consider this and more importantly let your friends know, as it could a be a great way for our young kids to keep playing sport, particularly this great game of cricket. Some details about... Kidsport can be found here: https://www.dlgsc.wa.gov.au//sport-and-recreation/kidsport And a link to apply for it: https://kidsport.dlgsc.wa.gov.au//apply-for-kidsport-2019/ I am not across how it works entirely, so that they pay the club your fees, as when you register I think you will be required to pay fees. Maybe you just get reimbursed but I will endeavor to find out for us. See more
11.01.2022 Howdy, does anyone know whos bbq this is? Its in the Changerooms at Burkinshaw oval. And we have been asked to remove it.
11.01.2022 I would like to wish everyone all the best for the season ahead, as most of you are starting this weekend. Shall we conquer our personal goals, using those challenging days for the better and not forgetting to have a lot of fun and as importantly build on our friendships. The teamwork, the individual efforts & pressures, the highs & lows & sportsmanship that this game teaches is greater than any other game known. There are so many facets to the game, all of which teach our kids important lessons that they can take into the rest of their lives. Bravery in defeat & to be gracious in victory, support your teammates no matter what. This game can bring out all of the virtues that we want in our kids, I am sure you would agree it can help shape them into future healthy decision makers. Enjoy your season ahead!
11.01.2022 A special thanks goes to the WACA and Cricket Australia for a grant we recently received (ACIF Round 2 2019-20 grant) for $1,800 which has gone towards replacing the astro-turf on the GF primary school pitch). Along with our own club the Glen Forrest Primary School P&C as well as the school itself have all contributed towards the costs so this could happen. The kids are going to love playing cricket on this. Thanks Slater & Gartrell Sports for installing it. #cricketaustralia #cricketgrants #grassrootscricket #newcricketpitch #ThanksWACA #girlscricket #ACIF #slatergartrell #slatergartrelsportsaling

09.01.2022 Welcome back to the second half of the season. Just a quick note to wish every player the successes they strive for as we play our next few games. On a positive note: Our great club recently received a grant from the Grassroots Cricket Fund and we have put he money towards buying some extra sun shades for game days as well provided 6 new helmets for our teams kit bags. These are the new type so that we can start to swap out the older types so to comply with the new helmet standard. We managed to buy a couple of boxes of the little red balls that keep our enthusiastic players out there enjoying this great game. Good luck to you and your teams for the remainder of the season, and thanks to #Grassrootscricket

For a small club (in comparison to other clubs), we have a very healthy numbers of players and a fantastic group of parents and families. As a president I am super proud of our clubs reputation within the cricketing community. For your kids: The teamwork, the individual efforts & pressures, the highs & lows & sportsmanship that this game teaches is greater than any other game known.
