Senior Cricket
Saturday Competition
In season 2025/26, there were 8 x grades across the Sutherland Shire Cricket Association (SSCA) Saturday afternoon competition. GBCC submitted 7 x teams in season 2025/26 across 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade, meaning we can accommodate players across all skill levels.
Each grade plays a combination of two-day, 60 over limited over matches and one-day, 30 over limited overs matches. All matches are played on a Saturday afternoon, commencing at 1:15pm and finishing at 5:30pm.
Midweek T20 Competition
In 2025/26, the SSCA introduced a Thursday night, Twenty-20 competition, for those players looking for a shorter, more relaxed competition, played over a shorter 8-9 week season. Games were played under lights and modified rules were also introduced to add excitement and tactical elements to the game, including:
- Nine players a-side
- Five ball overs
- Up to four players permitted outside the circle
- Batting and bowling powerplays
The inaugural competitions were met with great enthusiasm, with a 6-team competition pre-Christmas and an 8-team competition post-Christmas. GBCC submitted a team to both the Spring and Summer competitions and will be looking to submit teams again across the 2026/27 Spring and Summer competitions.
All GBCC players are provided with coloured playing pants as well.
