More Information...
Welcome to the West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook Cricket Club. Our Club was established in 1930 and the 2010-11 season will be our 81st season. We have now entered 651 Junior teams since our first year!
Junior cricket within our Association (the Hornsby Kuring-gai and Hills District Cricket Association) is offered to boys aged from U9 to U16 years.
We have a proud reputation for promoting participation of all children over results. Our formal policy of 'Participation over Results' is worth reading and can be accessed via the website.
Juniors are also an important pathway to a lifetime of cricket enjoyment. Junior 'graduates' move through well run Age Divisions into a Senior all-age competition. Our A1 side for example has 7 players who started in Kanga and our 2 Colts (U19) Teams have 16 Kanga graduates and 20 Junior players.
The 2009-10 season finished with the Finals on the 7th March 2010 and it was our most successful year. Season highlights are:
· 35 teams registered – equalling the Club and Association record set in 2008-09
· Despite our ‘Participation over Results’ policy that evens teams and gives everyone a ‘fair go’ we had 7 Teams competing in Semi-Finals, 3 Premiers and 1 Runner-up. We were also represented in every age Division except the U15’s who just missed out
· We ended up winning the U13, U14, U16 competitions and was runner up in the U16’s.
· In the U14 Final both Teams were from WPHC
A written comment from a Parent involved in the U11 Final (March 2008) says it all “.....Yes to confirm what everyone else has said. The stats of the match ...showed it all that no one was over-bowled, everyone had equal opportunity to bat and everyone had at least 2 overs (against a quality batsman who must have been the best we have encountered).
We won because every boy has been taught to play cricket and has been given the opportunity to do so. A Champion team.”
