City & Suburban
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.
Through our City and Suburban team (one of 22 clubs for this season), SUCC has a long and proud history with the Association. Typically, 2 or 3 members of the team are current SUCC players who for one reason or another are not playing grade on a given day.
We play limited over matches on Saturday or Sunday afternoons from October through to March, predominately on turf wickets, using a four piece ball. Matches are typically 35 overs per side, starting at 1:30pm and finish up around 6:30pm. Grounds we play on are either located within the University or are generally located within the inner west of Sydney.
We are now looking to increase our pool of players.
Players of all ages and cricket backgrounds 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 prior to Xmas, then contact one of our players below.
