"Making Runs” - Women’s Cricket In the North Eastern Suburbs

Would you like to play cricket?

The Tea Tree Gully District Cricket Club will be entering a B Grade and C Grade team in the SACA Women’s competition in the coming season. Matches are played on turf wickets and begin on 10th October, 2008.

The club will also be entering teams in either the Youth Cup  and the Scorpion Shield (Saturday evening or Sunday morning). 

The Youth Cup is intended for young girls at secondary school (under 16) and the Scorpion Shield is for primary school aged girls (under 13).  Both these competitions are designed to introduce girls to the game of cricket and are played under modified rules on turf wickets and no previous experience is required.  If the girls do not have their own equipment the club will be supplying. 

Program of Matches 2008-09 

Our girls have preformed remarkably well since the introduction of the Scorpion Shield team four seasons ago with the B Grade team, in their first year, being runners-up in both the 1-day and twenty/20 competitions.  Tamara Clapton, Victoria Bach and Crystal Wilson represented SA in the Under 15 national carnival in SA last year with Tamara also representing SA in the Under17 national carnival.  Amanda Wellington and Lauren Donahoe represented SA in the U13 national carnivals.  Tamara Clapton is a rookie member of the State Women's Scorpion squad for the 2008-09 season

Will you be the next Karen Rolton? 

Karen took over the captaincy of the Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars in February 2006, having served as vice-captain of the side since 1997.

The left-hander is Australia’s leading Test run scorer (her 63 in the Adelaide Oval Test against India lifted her to this milestone), and the third highest run-scorer in women’s one-day cricket history. Karen has won the Women’s International Cricketer of the Year award, presented at the Allan Border Medal count, a record four times.

She started playing cricket in the backyard with her brother and next door neighbours.

She plays grade cricket for Port Adelaide and has represented the men’s club team.
