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
