🟡🔵 Season Highlights – U10s 🔵🟡

We’re kicking off our end-of-season highlight series with our youngest Canaries 💙💛

Our U10s brought energy, smiles and enthusiasm to every game this season — and this video captures exactly what junior cricket is all about.

From first boundaries and wickets, to big celebrations and team moments, it’s been a year full of learning, growth and plenty of fun along the way.

These are the early steps in the journey… and it’s exciting to see what’s ahead for this group.

🎥 Check out the highlights below and relive the season with our U10s.

🟡🔵 Plenty of talent. Plenty of smiles. Plenty to look forward to 💙💛

🏏💙 Dapto Juniors at CNSW Cricket Central 💛🏏

What an unforgettable experience for our junior players, travelling to Cricket Central — the home of Cricket NSW and one of the premier cricket facilities in the country.

From elite training environments to hands-on challenges, our players got a real taste of high-performance cricket.

💥 Bowling radar gun challenges had players pushing for top speed, competing to see who could bowl the fastest
💥 Batting power tests had players stepping up to the radar to find out who our biggest hitters were
🏏 Behind-the-scenes tours of world-class facilities
⭐ And a huge highlight — meeting Australian stars Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Kurtis Patterson

Experiences like this go beyond the game…
👉 Inspiring our players to aim higher
👉 Connecting effort with opportunity
👉 Showing what’s possible with hard work and dedication

A fantastic day full of energy, competition and inspiration — and a credit to all players who represented the club with pride 💙💛

A huge thanks also to Dapto Citizens Bowling Club - whose generous grant went a long way to funding this day to support our players.

🏏💙 A SEASON TO CELEBRATE – DAPTO JUNIORS 2025/26 💛🏏

Last Sunday was a chance to pause and recognise what has been a fantastic season for our junior cricketers — and what stood out most wasn’t just the performances, but the growth across every age group.

From our youngest players finding their feet in U10s, to our older juniors leading the way in U17s, this season was full of moments that reminded us what our club is all about.

We saw players dominate with the bat — Freddie James, Rory Smith, Emma Soutter, Hunter Donoghue, Lachlan Tate and Cameron Kelly leading the way across their grades.

With the ball, it was just as impressive — Luke Morton, all 3 (!) of the Maloney crew, Emma Soutter again, Riley Brown and Hannah Tate all delivering game changing spells throughout the year.

But beyond the numbers, it was the players who brought energy, commitment and leadership that caught the eye of their coaches — with Rafferty McGrath, Aiden Basic, Nate Drinkwater and Blake H***e recognised for the impact they had on their teams.

The respect of teammates is one of the most powerful things in sport, and that was clear with our Players’ Player winners — Aria Botes and Jesse Norris — players who earned it week in, week out.

One of the best parts of junior sport is watching improvement, and this season delivered plenty of it. Gordon Roxon-Agars, Jax Martin, Kayden H***e, Kobi Morgan and Hamish Davies all showed just how much can change with effort and persistence.

There were also moments of brilliance that deserve special mention — a hat-trick to Luke Morton, outstanding work behind the stumps from Hunter Jones-Davids, and a dominant season at the top of the order from Blake Knight.

And at the pointy end of the season, two players stood above the rest —
🌟 Freddie James – Junior Cricketer of the Year
🌟 Lachlan Tate – Senior/Junior Cricketer of the Year

These awards tell part of the story — but the bigger picture is a club full of kids turning up, improving, supporting each other and representing Dapto with pride.

That’s what makes this place special 💙💛
