Social and Health Benefits

Many of our players have ceased work. They played cricket in their younger years and believed that their playing days were over. When they retire there is a need to find interests and they often lose daily interaction with other people. This can lead to feelings of being ’irrelevant’, or being isolated from society.

There have been many stories of players’ and their partners letting us know what a difference cricket has made to their lives. Attending Competitions, Carnivals and Regional games provides interaction with their peers and new friendships. Some go on to hold positions within their age group or on the main Board.

The introduction of O75s cricket (with its adapted rules) saw many playing the game they loved when they thought that they would no longer be able.
