Leichhardt Wanderers Cricket Club

March 21st / 22nd, 2026. There you have it, our 2025/26 season of junior cricket is now complete! A bit of wild weather caused some havoc over both days this weekend, which was a little disappointing for some games, however thankfully (at least for LWCC!) did not decide any grand final results. Along with all our final round match reports, including our U11 Girls local derby, we have three junior Grand Final match reports featured below. Our U10 Reds were very brave in defeat

March 14th / 15th, 2026. What a weekend of cricket! Six semi-finals featuring seven LWCC teams in the IWHJCA competitions saw three teams qualify for their grand finals this coming Saturday. However, even for those who didn't win their semis, some high-quality, competitive cricket was played and they gave it their all, no matter who they were up against. That is Wanderers spirit! The same can be said for our senior B-grade side, who whilst they went down against the Western J

March 7th / 8th, 2026. After 15 rounds of cricket from October to March, our Inner West Harbour cricket regular rounds come to a close. For some, this means the end of the season. We sincerely hope you've all enjoyed your season and have loved your cricket. We hope you've made some new friends, whether team mates, club mates, or opposition. We hope you've learnt some new things from our fabulous coaches and continued to develop your game. We also hope to see you again next s

February 28th / March 1st, 2026. Things are heating up now! (Not literally though... with a spot of rain on Friday spoiling the penultimate round for our U10s and our keen U9s - very disappointing!). For our IWHJCA comps, this weekend will be the final round of the season for many teams who're out of the running for finals. We hope you've enjoyed your cricket - give it everything you've got for your games this weekend! For others, it all comes down to Saturday to see if they

March 2nd, 2026. As we approach the end of the cricket season, we hope that it has been an enjoyable time. The Association will now commence boys representative trials for all age groups for the 2026-27 season. Note: information for girls rep trials for the 2026-27 season will be announced in late-March 2026. Eligibility Must intend to register with an IWHJCA club (Leichhardt Wanderers, Concord Briars, Iron Cove Balmain Tigers and Ryde Hunters Hill Pirates) for season 2026-27

February 21st / 22nd, 2026. As many of you would have seen, last week, Leichhardt Wanderers Cricket Club launched Pitch Perfect: Girls Cricket Academy . This is a super exciting new project for our club to be part of and designed to give our girls a fantastic opportunity to develop their cricket skills in the off-season, led by a professional coach and held at a professional cricket facility. We are pleased to say, we've had overwhelming support from our players, getting thei

February 14th / 15th, 2026. Winter Olympics fever is gripping the nation, as Australia is having its 'best ever' campaign at Milano Cortina. (So far, 3x gold, 1x silver and 1x bronze - not bad for the world's driest inhabited continent, with 70% of its land classed as arid or desert!). What resonates most with me are the stories from the athletes and their families. The athletes all speak about the spark that was ignited when they discovered their chosen sport, and the pride

February 7th / 8th, 2026. Another weekend of junior cricket in the books! We love reading these match reports every weekend, and we hope that our club community enjoys reading them too. Our coaches and managers seem to enjoy writing them too - win, lose (or tie!), there is always an element of fun and plenty of positivity written in to the weekly match reports ('short stories' if you will). We appreciate everyone putting their time and energy into these and we'll continue to

Jan 31st / Feb 1st, 2026. Yes... welcome back... welcome back to LWCC's summer of cricket! It's great to have club cricket back and it seems as though it wouldn't be a summer weekend in Sydney without the combination of sunshine, sweltering heat and humidity, followed by a torrential rainstorm to finish off! Our first match reports of 2026 are below, with plenty of exciting cricket being played. We welcome some new players to the club in the new year and some new team formati

Happy new year to our Leichhardt Wanderers cricket community and welcome back for 2026! 2026 is a big year for the Wanderers, as it marks 115 years since the club's inception. Obviously cricket is a much more recent undertaking, however rugby league at LW has been going strong since 1911! As one club, we will celebrate this milestone collectively in 2026 (more on this below). We hope everyone enjoyed the holiday period and some down time from junior cricket. No doubt plenty o

December 13th / 14th, 2025. We've officially reached the half-way point of the 2025/26 season, which also marks the end of club matches for 2025! We hope everyone is enjoying their cricket and looking forward to returning in 2026. Of course, everyone deserves a much needed break, which is a great opportunity to refresh for the second half of the cricket season (particularly for parents and coaches, let alone our players!). Put your feet up and settle in for the Ashes; with th

December 6th / 7th, 2025. Well that was a hot one! Somewhat of a shame that we had to abandon a host of matches on Saturday, although some of our early morning junior teams were lucky enough to get a game in before the stifling heat took hold. Read on below to catch all the weekend's action - plenty of fantastic match reports on offer! Thank you so much for everyone who braved the heat to come down to Blackmore on Friday night for a cold drink and our BBQ. It was great having

November 29th / 30th, 2025. What a fantastic weekend of junior cricket! Results are one thing, but reading this week's match reports and all of the individual highlights, acts of sportsmanship and little stories from our games of cricket, it's clear that there's always more to it than the result! We only have a couple of weekends to play before our summer break, so enjoy your cricket whilst you can! We're looking forward to our clubhouse event on Friday and we hope to see ple

November 22nd / 23rd, 2025. What a week of cricket! A two day Ashes test match in Perth left everyone wondering how to pass the time on Sunday. Thankfully there was still plenty of junior cricket to be played (despite some showers)! This week featured a flurry of new additions to our season Honour Roll across our junior teams. Particularly noteworthy is six new additions to the fielding honour roll - looks like extra catching and fielding practice might be paying off for so

November 15th / 16th, 2025. The summer of cricket is heating up - it's Ashes week! No doubt cricket fans across the country are well aware that Australia's first test in the mens' Ashes series - versus arch-rival England - kicks off in Perth on Friday, at 1:20pm AEST - prime time viewing for those on the east coast for the weekend. How good?? Whilst this series promises to be electric (as always!), the electricity started a few days early with a lightning storm passing across

November 8th / 9th, 2025. We hope everyone enjoyed their cricket on the weekend (regardless of results!). Reminder that before we all take a break for the holidays, the cricket club is hosting its annual " Red & Black Friday " event at the Blackmore clubhouse. This is a great chance to get together as a club & community to reflect on the first half of the cricket season AND support your club by purchasing some dinner and drinks. The best part is, the Ashes will be played on o

November 1st / 2nd, 2025. It's been a sombre week in cricket across the nation, with the tragic loss of young Ben Austin, from Ferntree Gully Cricket Club, Melbourne. Cricket is characterised by fun, friendship and sportsmanship, so it is heartbreaking to hear of a young player losing his life in such circumstances. We at Leichhardt Wanderers are shocked and deeply saddened by the tragedy and our thoughts are with Ben's family, friends and teammates. At many cricket fields ac

October 25th / 26th, 2025. "We are Leichhardt Wanderers Through and Through" is the club's motto, which you would have seen used across our communication channels and website (and used widely by the LW Rugby League club). But what does it mean? Well it means a lot of things to different people, but to me, it represents the strong club and community spirit the Wanderers are known for. This means an inclusive environment for our people to enjoy playing their sport of choice, wh

October 18th / 19th, 2025. Cricket is so back! What a bumper weekend of junior cricket across the Inner West! To match, we have an absolute bumper first issue of our weekend wrap for the 2025-26 season, with 22 match reports covering 24 junior teams. It sounds like (almost!) everyone enjoyed their first weekend of cricket. The exciting theme running through this issue is the number of firsts: first games of cricket, first games for a new club, first games for a new team, firs
