THE call-up is on to dust off the pads, balance the bails and polish the bats – Moree junior cricket season is ready to hit the wickets.
The club, with a committee headed up newly-elected president Mick Jensen, is calling on nominations to fill teams ahead of the JC1 and JC2 Master Blasters’ launch on Saturday, October 19 at Ron Harborne Ovals.
Juniors Blasters will commence the following Saturday, October 26.
Jensen said numbers were a little down but he hoped registrations would continue before the season starts.
Nominations close late Friday, September 27 and must be done online. All players must be registered through Cricket Australia administrative platform, PlayHQ.
Children need to be registered based on age.
To nominate:
Junior Blasters and Master Blasters: https://www.playhq.com/cricket-australia/register/bcedf5
JC1/JC2: https://www.playhq.com/cricket-australia/register/e9756e
“At this stage, we might look at extending nominations to try and get the number up,” Jensen said
“I’ve got three kids playing cricket, Tom, Sophie and Charlie, and we’re all keen to get back out there.”
“But we do need more players, and the more number we can get, the better the season will be.”
The details:
JC1/JC2/MASTER BLASTERS will commence on Saturday, October 19.
JUNIOR BLASTERS will commence on Saturday, October 26.
JUNIOR CRICKET (JC1/JC2) is for players who have previously played Master Blasters and turn 10 on or before December 31, 2024.
CRICKET BLAST Players will be allocated to a division by the committee based on age and past playing experience. It includes Master Blasters and Junior Blasters.
MASTER BLASTERS is for players who have previously participated in Junior Blasters and are 7-9 years old.
JUNIOR BLASTERS is for players who are 5-7 years old.
“Some players may need to be moved into different divisions and these decisions will be made by the club based on ability level and player safety,” Jensen said.
