About our Club

Marrickville Cricket Club has a long and proud history commencing in 1910 and has been home to four Test legends - Australian Captain Bob Simpson and three of Bradman's 'Invincibles' - Ernie Toshack, Bill Brown and Ron Saggers.

Cricket greats Johnny Martin, Pat Crawford, Sid Barnes, Bill Alley, Jack Moroney and Tommy TJ Andrews also emerged from the Marrickville-Petersham area. Our area also boasts three Austrlian Women Test Cricketers - Mollie "the Demon" Flaherty, Hazel "Girl Bradman" Pritchard and Amy Hudson.

The modern Marrickville Cricket Club was formed in the 1992 and entered junior and senior teams into the local Canterbury & Western Suburbs Cricket Association competitions.

Since 2000 MCC has focused on and expanded its junior cricket program to provide for girls and boys in the area to develop their interest, skills and love of the game. We now offer cricket programs from ages 4 and up that support girl's and boy's development. This includes:

7-12 years Primary aged girls and boys can try the game with our T20 Blast Centres. A weekly 90 minute game session for over 8 weeks. We run Girls Only and Mixed Centres.

 

DEVELOPING GIRLS CRICKET

MCC is committed to developing girls and their families interest, skills and love of cricket from the earliest age through to club competition and representative level. 

At MCC there is no such thing as a girl's  sport or boy's sport - there is just cricket. We know that traditionally there has not been much encouragement in developing female players, so we have put in place programs, information and support to help give girls the same opportunities in cricket that boys get.

We start with MILO in2CRICKET (4-8 years) and provide players and coaches as role models to build their confidence and competence at cricket alongside the boys.

In the 7-12 year age group MCC works with CricketNSW to run the T20 Blast Inner West Girls Only comp. This an 8 week program of 90-minute sessions overseen by professional coaches and has all players batting, bowling and fielding to a backdrop of music and fun. Girls take centre stage and enjoy the sport with friends and others. T20 Blast is a great format to give primary school aged girls a taste of the excitement of the game and develop cricket skills.

Girls aged 7-15 years are also eligible and welcome to play in the CWSCA junior club competition U9, U10, U12, U14 & U16 teams. We encourage mixed teams especially at the U9 and U10 level.

MCC also enters teams in the girls only competition - Sydney Thunder Girls League. U13 and U17 nine a side teams play on Saturday afternoons and is supported by strong coaching and enthusiastic parents.

MCC girl players are also eligible for trialling for CWSCA Representative teams in the U13 Mollie Dive and U15 Margaret Peden Shield competitions.

MCC has established links with the Universities Women Grade Cricket Club to give our female players aged 12 and up further coaching, playing and development opportunities.
