CricConnect Conversation with Aaron Gray the Chairman of Newcastle District Cricket Association about the Newcastle Cricket Board
Cricket Conversations | March 02, 2025
Today, we’re looking at a major shift in Cricket in Newcastle -one that could reshape the game in Newcastle and beyond. With a population of around 500,000 and a proud history of producing stars like Gary Gilmour, Bob Holland, Anthony Stuart, Paul Wilson, and Belinda Clark, Newcastle is a true cricket stronghold.
Now, the Newcastle District Cricket Association (NDCA) and Newcastle Junior Cricket Association (NJCA) have joined forces to form the Newcastle Cricket Board (NCB), and set to become the leading cricket organisation in country NSW. This move is about more than administration—it’s about growth, infrastructure, and creating a clear pathway for future generations.
Joining me today is Aaron Gray, president of the Newcastle Cricket Association, to discuss what this means for clubs, players, and the future of cricket in the region.
