SENIOR SUNSET SMASH

We are going into our fourth season of Sunset Smash and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever!

Love cricket but can’t sacrifice a whole Saturday to play the beautiful game? Then Sunset Smash is perfect for you! This short 8-a-side format is the perfect opportunity to get the old willow out and smash a few over the boundary.

Running on Monday evenings at Michaels Ave either side of Christmas, it’s a great choice for those wanting to enjoy cricket without having to block out a whole day. Teams will play one game a week starting at 6:15pm that will last approximately an hour. So enter a business team or grab a bunch of your mates and join now!

You can either enter a full team of 8 or as an individual and we will do our best to find you a team!

WOMEN AND GIRLS SUNSET SMASH

For the first time in 2024/25 we will be running a Sunset Smash Series exclusively for Women and Girls. This exciting initiative will serve as an introduction for any players or any ability looking to play cricket, in a social and inclusive environment. Ellerslie will be providing coaches to help the teams improve their skills and knowledge of cricket as the season progresses.

So get your friends and family together and put in a team today! Or, if you're an individual looking to be placed in a team, contact us directly and we can help you out.
