*if a trial is required

  • No changes to the tournament structure. 

  • Includes a championship and festival grade

  • The championship grade is aimed at more “competitive” cricketers, whereas the festival grade has more relaxed rules for the developing cricketer. There are elements of competition in both grades.

  • We will endeavour to accommodate all interested cricketers into teams. 


Year 11-13 Girls - Monday 14th October 5pm-6:30pm Park Road

  • CD has decided to let the District Associations (MCA) enter more than 1 team into the Year 11-13 Girls tournament. 

  • We will be entering 2x teams.

  • The girls who register to trial from last season's Year 11-13 rep team will stay together (minus the Year 13's of 2023 moving on) so there will be spots open on this team. A second team of 12 additional players will be named as well.
