Games

The Under 10s to Under 12s competitions are focused on fun and participation, and developing skills for later age groups. There are no point ladders or championship titles within these competitions.

U10s games are 25 overs in length, and are played on a 16m length pitch.

U11 and U12 games are 25 overs in length, and are played on a 18m length pitch.

Under 11 players who play in the pre-Christmas competition are also invited to participate in the Annual Ron Eager Cup held in the December school holidays. A select number of U12 players are also invited to trial for the U12 BEARS junior cricket representative teams.

Games are held on either Saturday mornings (8am start) or Saturday afternoons (1pm start).
