🏏 IMPORTANT CLUB ANNOUNCEMENT – PLAYER NUMBERS & 2025/26 SEASON 🏏

As we approach the 2025/26 pre-season, it’s important we’re upfront about the challenges facing our club.

Last season, we had 40 registered players. To run two teams successfully and account for unavailability due to shift work, injury, or personal commitments, we need at least 30 registered players.

If we can’t field two teams, the club risks being financially and structurally unsustainable. One team places a huge burden on a small group of volunteers and significantly reduces our ability to attract and retain sponsors — which are vital for survival.

Put simply, this is a make-or-break moment for the future of the club.

We’re calling on all current and past players, supporters, and community members:
If you can help — with recruitment, ideas, or direction — please reach out to a committee member as soon as possible.

We’ll be making key decisions in the coming weeks. Your voice and support could make all the difference

The Yolla cricket club family would like to pass on our condolences to Fred’s family and friends. Fred was a former Captain and player at our club in the late 80s and early 90s. A gifted middle order batsman and exceptional wicketkeeper. His stats make for great reading and shows he could put his hand to anything. Rest easy Fred, forever a Demon. 💙❤️

🚨 COACHING ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
The Yolla Cricket Club is excited to announce Rod Cornish as club coach for season 2024-25
Rod brings with him a wealth of cricket knowledge and we hope a fresh approach to training & match day.
I think we can all agree a different perspective from somebody outside the current playing group, is exactly what’s needed & with an injection of a few new faces & hopefully maintaining the core of our existing squads, this season stands to be very exciting for the mighty demons.
