We extend an open invitation to all male cricketers in Northern NSW between the ages of 18 and 26. The Emus are back.

Peter Clifford | May 29, 2024

Jim White founded the "Emus," as they are affectionately known, in the 1940s, and each year a touring squad of under-21 players toured New Zealand, Argentina, and Europe.

For 65 or more years, representative teams from NSW North Coast, Hunter Valley, North West, and Northern Tablelands would assemble in Tamworth for the JS White Under 21’s Colts Carnival over 3 days in January. From the carnival, players were selected to represent the Emus.

Doug Walters, an Australian cricket legend, is one of Emu's most famous.

In June 2025, a new breed of Emu’s will head off to Scotland for 14 days, from 6 to 20 June. This will be the first Emu tour since 2019.

While in Scotland, the Emu's will be based in Greenock on the West Coast and play around 10 games at great venues and against quality opposition.

We are seeking genuine expressions of interest from first-grade cricketers in Northern NSW between the ages of 18 and 26 to join the Emu Cricket Club for an experience of a lifetime.

If you're interested or know someone who should be nominated, please contact Peter Clifford at 0435 255128 or Terry Psarakis at 0438 405508.
