$10,000.00

Established in 1860, the Preston Cricket Club is the senior community cricket club in the City of Darebin and has grown significantly over the last 10 years.


in addition to our 4 senior teams, we host a junior representative squad, facilitate a cricket blast boys and girls 6-9 year old program, boast a growing past players and supporters group and coordinate the Preston Cricket Academy which is the benchmark for junior development in our region.

The Preston Cricket Academy has provided winter coaching for local junior players, holding sessions for under 13 boys, under 15 boys, under 17 girls and under 19 boys. In 2024 over 100 players were involved in the academy which is provided free for most of the participants.


It is important to note that while obviously the academy will benefit Preston Cricket Club in the long term, the program goes well beyond that and benefits most clubs in the northern region as the majority of kids will stay with their local clubs..


As you can imagine, significant costs are associated with running the program and our fundraising target is required to help facilitate the running of the academy for the next three years.


Any donation of $2.00 or more is tax deductible through this fundraising campaign with the Australian Sports Foundation and will complement contributions from the Preston Cricket Club and also dedicated junior sponsors.
