Cricket season is getting closer . . . our pre-season focus this week is the Spirit of Cricket. Just one of the reasons we love our great game. Here is the Preamble to the Laws of Cricket . . .
Cricket owes much of its appeal and enjoyment to the fact that it should be played not only according to the Laws, but also within the Spirit of Cricket. The major responsibility for ensuring fair play rests with the captains, but extends to all players, match officials and, especially in junior cricket, teachers, coaches and parents.
Respect is central to the Spirit of Cricket.
- Respect your captain, team-mates, opponents and the authority of the umpires.
- Play hard and play fair.
- Accept the umpire’s decision.
- Create a positive atmosphere by your own conduct, and encourage others to do likewise.
- Show self-discipline, even when things go against you.
- Congratulate the opposition on their successes, and enjoy those of your own team.
- Thank the officials and your opposition at the end of the match, whatever the result.
Cricket is an exciting game that encourages leadership, friendship and teamwork, which brings together people from different nationalities, cultures and religions, especially when played within the Spirit of Cricket.

We love to celebrate the achievements of our Orange juniors.
Today our highlight is NIC WARBURTON.
Nic played his junior cricket and began his umpiring career in Orange, following in the footsteps of dad, Dave and mum, Kathryn.
Nic moved to Sydney for university and has continued his umpiring there moving up to grade. He has now been appointed to the State & Territory Umpires Panel for 2026/27.
Nic (r) is pictured here umpiring at the National Indigenous Cricket Championships. Apologies, we don’t know the name of the other umpire.
Alongside Premier Cricket commitments, members of the STUP’s officiate in the WBBL, WNCL, state Second XI; CA Underage National Championships and as Fourth Umpires in the BBL.
Nic also loves coming home and giving us a hand in the January Carnivals when he can and has stood in several of our T20 exhibition games.
Well done and congratulations Nic!
