The boys fell short by 1 wicket today to Temora at Albert Park.

One of the closet games seen at Albert Park for many years.

Luke Berkrey top scored with 30.

A massive shout to Harvey Holt who took 6-33 in one of the most spirited spells seen in a Cootamundra Representative Jersy.

Joel Pearson took 2 wickets and Jack Caldwell 1 but it just wasn't our day today.

Thanks to all the supporters who have followed the side for the last two Rep seasons and we will be back bigger and better for a challenge next year.

A big congratulations to John Stephens on his selection in the O55 Australian squad.

Shirl has been one of the most consistent cricketers over two decades for Cootamundra and this is just reward for the effort and time put into the game at a local level.

Shirl came back to the South West Slopes competition this year after time playing in Wagga and is in arguably career best form with the ball this year.

All the best Shirl on this massive achievement.

Australia Announces Inaugural Over-55s Squad for Historic Tri-Series in Mackay

In a groundbreaking moment for veterans’ cricket, Australia has unveiled its inaugural Over-55s squad, set to take on New Zealand in the first-ever international competition for this age group.

The tournament, hosted at Harrup Park in Mackay, Queensland, from April 9-16 will also feature an Australian Aboriginal Over-50s team in a triangular series that marks a new era for the sport.

Veterans cricket has seen exponential growth in recent years, with age-group competitions fostering extended playing careers for cricketers passionate about the game. Veterans Cricket Australia first developed this age category when they took the inaugural O55’s Nationals to Christchurch in 2023. The introduction of Over-55s internationals is yet another step forward, ensuring that seasoned players continue to showcase their talent on the global stage.

Andrew Knight, Chair of the Veterans Cricket Australia Over-50s board, hailed the milestone, stating:
“The addition of international Over-55s to the veterans’ cricket program will hopefully keep players in the game longer. It’s a fantastic opportunity for our cricketers to continue competing at a high level and represent their country with pride.”

The tournament promises thrilling competition, with all matches set to be live-streamed.
See the below graphic for the players selected to represent their country.
