👹 RE-SIGNING ANNOUNCEMENT 👹

We’re absolutely thrilled to have the incredible Ella back for another season with the Demons! Not only is she an outstanding cricketer, but she’s also a fantastic person and teammate.

Ella had a phenomenal 2025–26 season, taking home the MPCA Championship Player award, MPCA Best & Fairest (as voted by the umpires), and the MPCA Batting Award. She racked up an impressive 561 runs at an average of 80.14, including two centuries—simply outstanding!

On top of that, Ella took 15 wickets and claimed the Rye CC Graeme Vernon Medal (voted by opposition captains), becoming the first female recipient—an amazing achievement and hopefully the first of many.

We’re so grateful to have Ella as part of the Demons family and can’t wait to see what she delivers this season.

Wishing you all the best, Ella!

👹 Happy Friday Morning Post 👹

We are delighted to welcome Beau Suffern back to the club as our 2XI Captain after a year away from the game.

Beau has been a valued member of the Rye cricket community for more than 20 years, and in his most recent season he was averaging 35 with the bat. He brings a strong work ethic, genuine passion for the game, unparalleled determination and a deep understanding of cricket. His leadership and mentoring will be a significant asset—not only to the 2XI, but across the wider playing group.

Highly regarded both on and off the field, Beau is widely respected throughout the Rye sporting community and consistently sets high standards for those around him.

Please join us in welcoming Beau back, offering your support, and wishing him every success in his role as 2XI Captain for the season ahead.

The smiling assassin is back! We’re absolutely stoked to announce that Sashika Gunathunga has re-signed with the Rye Cricket Club for season 2026/27!

Loved by everyone at the club and within the playing group, Sash brings more than just talent - he brings energy, presence, and that trademark smile. But don’t be fooled… when he steps onto the field, he’s all business. When Sash speaks, we all listen.

With an uncanny ability to swing the new ball both ways and finish an innings with some serious power, he’s a true match-winner in every sense. During his two seasons at the club he’s been able to contribute 428 runs and 38 wickets, and we can’t wait to see what he will bring in season 2026/27! ❤️💙

This will be Sash’s third year at the club, and after being apart of our 2024/25 premiership side in his debut season, we couldn’t be happier to lock him in once again!

Join us in celebrating Sash’s return for another big season ahead! ❤️💙

We are absolutely stoked to have Manu Goraya locked in again for the 2026/27 season at Rye Cricket Club!

Manu is one of the most likeable blokes going around - loves the club, loves his teammates, and brings incredible energy every time he steps onto the field. His spirit and presence lifts the group, and he’s a massive part of what we’re building.

He capped off last season in style, finishing with the second most runs in our 1st XI with 322 at an average of 24.77, and he is keen to build off that platform he set for himself as he told us; “I’m very excited to go again next season and can not wait”. ❤️💙

Already putting in the work, Manu has kicked off his pre-season with winter cricket, setting the tone early for a huge year ahead.

We can’t wait to see what’s in store, so join us in celebrating and welcoming Manny back for another season! ❤️💙🔥
