Burwood Uniting Canterbury Cricket Club would like to invite our Junior Cricketers back for the for the upcoming 2019-20 Season.

After a successful 2017-18 season with our U18 team Premiers, U16 playing in the semi-final and U14 playing in the Grand Final we’re looking forward to another successful year in 2018-19.

Junior Cricket is for boys and girls from 8 years old with a focus on participation up to those under 18 on the 1st September 2018. Some of our older juniors also play in our senior teams, a great experience with the potential for father and son / parent and child playing a game together.

BUCCC is expecting to field teams in all age groups, U10, U12, U14, U16 and U18 and looking for expressions of interest for an all girls team playing on Wednesday nights.

Please use this link to register via My Cricket.

2017-18 U18 Premiers

Premiers!

Adam Colgan captains the BUCCC under 18C team to a Premiership in the K Noy Shield.

Playing at home, we batted on Day 1 for a hard fought 107 with Alex Stork 34, Travis Harrison 29 & Trent Ryan 15 the main run scorers.

Day 2 started with a slow but steady stream of runs for Burwood to be 4/81 in the 29th over. Chasing 27 runs in 10 overs it seemed BUCCC would be denied victory. Conceding 5 more runs in the 30th.

Jack Beardsley takes 2 wickets in the next and with Adam Colgan are supported by a stunning fielding performance from the team to pile on the pressure for the last 5 overs & 1 ball to take a total of 6 wickets for the loss of only 3 runs to seal a great win that was energetically
celebrated by all.

A great game. Congratulations !!!!

Alex Stork 34
Travis Harrington 29
Trent Ryan 15
Adam Colgan 9.1 O, 3 M, 3 W, 19 R.
Jack Beardsley 9 O, 2 M, 4 W, 20 R.

Burwood Won a Premiership

4th XI Premiers - 2016-17

4th XI – Merrell Shield (D Grade)

Congratulations to Andrew Hillyer for captaining the the 4th XI team to the Merrell Shield (D Grade) Premiership over North Balwyn.

In the “Battle of the Bulls” – a fantastic game was played at Macleay Park. After losing the toss the pace attack of Rohan Schulties (2/31) and Seb Graham (6/63) dominated with the ball. North Balwyn held together under tremendous pressure from the BUCCC players to post a competitive total of 155.

Greg Puls (15) and Pete Graham (15) put forward a painstaking start to the run chase, finishing the first day unbeaten. The careful partnership continued on day 2 when the first wicket finally fell with the total on 33. Phil Quirk (40*) and skipper Andrew Hillyer (58) saw the team over the line in front of a fantastic crowd.

Congratulations and thank you to those players that are retiring or leaving the club. Pete Nicholls completed his final innings for the club after 50 years and over 500 matches. Rohan Schulties will move closer to home in Croydon next season after some fantastic years at the club. Seb Graham is off to the UK for work and will hopefully be back at some stage. Jim Kouryialas also intends to retire – but we’ll believe it when we see it.

A great effort by all the boys. The winning team included…

Andrew Hillyer (c), Greg Puls, Peter Graham, Peter Nicholls, Phil Quirk, Andrew Cullinan, Matthew Patterson, Rohan Schulties, Adam Gelfe, Mitchell McPherson, Seb Graham, Jim Kouryialas (12 man)
