Q: Northbridge Cricket Club is Recruiting New Players
Have you:
• Stepped away from grade cricket but still feel the urge to get back out there?
• Taken a break from cricket and miss playing with your mates?
• Just finished school and unsure what’s next for your cricketing journey?
• Over 40 and keen for a weekend hit on turf?
• Simply looking for some fun, fitness, and camaraderie with a great group?
We’re Northbridge Cricket Club, entering our 105th season, and we’re on the lookout for new players! Whether you're a seasoned player or a beginner, we have a spot for you in one of our 5 teams playing in the Northern Cricket Union competition—the strongest community cricket competition outside Premier/Grade and Shires cricket in Sydney.
With 2 turf teams and 3 astro-turf teams (4th Grade, 6th Grade, and D One Day), we welcome cricketers of all skill levels, from casual players to local legends. We’re also proud to field a team in the Sydney Over 40’s Masters competition, played on some of the best turf grounds in Sydney on alternate weekends.
But more than just cricket, we’re looking for good people to enjoy our Saturdays (and occasionally Saturday evenings!) with. We understand that life is busy, and you may not want to commit to playing every week—no worries, we can work with that! Whether you’re after a casual hit or something more serious, we’ll make cricket work for you.
If you’re keen to join or just want to chat about the club, the game, or even meet for a beer at our sponsor pub, North Sydney Hotel, drop us a message on Facebook, email us at executive@northbridgecricketclub.org, or register here:

Q: Our 1st grade side entered the final round of the 2020-21 season in last place (6th). Needing a collection of various miracles from mother cricket, as well as mother nature, we thought that we’d focus on the last round as something to enjoy following a weather and covid interrupted summer. We needed maximum points from an outright victory, a significant turnaround on quotient and various other things to fall our way. The most optimistic of optimists at Percy’s (North Sydney Hotel, our wonderful sponsor) all agreed it was unlikely.
On this basis, we made the decision able to fulfill our club patron’s dream. At 73 years old and a life member of the club, our 7th grade wicket keeper David Allan made his 1st grade debut. His cricketing dream was to play in the top turf side and mix it with the ‘big boys’. We wanted to not only acknowledge his years or unwavering support, service and countless hours of fundraising, but we also wanted to prove to him that we thought he was good enough to be there and would absolutely not let us down.
