City & Suburban Competition
Are you interested in playing cricket this season without the demands of grade? Can’t afford the time or commitment to play grade cricket, but still want to play on turf. Read on!
One of Sydney's best kept cricketing secrets is the City and Suburban Cricket Association (http://www.cricketnsw.com.au/csca/). The Association was formed in 1903 and is a direct affiliate of the NSW Cricket Association.
City and Suburban cricket is all about playing cricket in a friendly but competitive atmosphere.
Renowned for playing cricket in the true spirit of the game, there is no competition table, no training sessions and games rely on the integrity of players to uphold the laws and traditions of cricket.
As a founding member of the Association, the Sydney University City & Suburban Cricket Club (one of 22 clubs for this season) has a long and proud history with the Association.
We are now looking to increase our pool of players.
Players of all ages and abilities are welcome. You can become a regular or alternatively choose to play only a couple of games each season – your choice. If you are interested in finding out more or would like to nominate yourself for either of the upcoming games this year and next year, then contact one of our players below.
