Southern Districts Cricket Club on the quest for a miraculous four in a row which has not been achieved since Tracy Village (formerly East Darwin/Banks) in the 80’s. They will remain the standard of the competition, but will the hunger be there? With good local pick-ups in Jason McKay and the return of Matt Hammond, they will have the stock.

Southern Districts continue to be the team to beat in the senior competition, how is the club looking?
As a club we strive for excellence, and we continue to seek to improve. Our success is based on culture and a undying commitment to club above individuals. It’s a happy club and a family club. We have lost players and at this stage we welcome back Jackson Isakka, Dean Fry and Nick Broes from ACT. We have been served well by locals Garner, Mullins and Mylius just to name a few.
We have good juniors as well in Cawthorpe Barker and St Clair. We will also be strengthened in B Grade with several country Victorian recruits, and we are still in the process of interstate recruits as well.
As for the women we now have two teams with Captains yet to be named There will be surprises ahead to our men’s playing list We hope to be as competitive as ever given the inclusion of Bangs as well.
