Cricket at St Peter’s College has a long and distinguished history with records of the earliest matches played on Main Oval dating back to the early 1850s.

Throughout the years, our students and old scholars have been fortunate to enjoy well-kept playing fields, yet like any natural asset, our cricket wickets require periodic renewal to maintain the high standards we uphold. In acknowledgement of this year being the 170th anniversary of the first two-innings match being played on the School oval, the School has determined that it is time to replace the centre wicket blocks on all our major ovals and to replace the turf practice wickets on the Caterer and Wilson ovals. This endeavour requires a considerable commitment by the School, and one made in the best interests of our Cricket Program. It is estimated this project will take up to ten years to complete, with a projected cost exceeding $1.0M.

However, with additional support, there exists potential to significantly accelerate this timeframe.

We invite you, our SPSC Cricket community, to contribute to Project Pitch In and help bring this project to fruition ahead of schedule. Any support you can provide will make a difference in the lives of our student cricketers and the wider SPSC Cricket community.

Thank you for your ongoing support of our Cricket Program. May it continue to be a source of challenge and fulfillment for our students, old scholars, and future generations.
