Please find attached the 2026 Seasons league Prospectus
Firstly, we take the opportunity to thank clubs for their support in respect of our re-election at the end of the 2025, one which on the field was somewhat of a challenge. We also extend our thanks to the League for inviting us to host the Chappel Cup final, something as a club we were proud to accept after the culmination of our recent work on the Hub and hard work on the ground.
Our 1st XI will once again be led by Carl Tetley supported this year by Rob Cockell, it will be a team mixing youth and experience boosted by our first overseas player for a number of years. Jacob Kerr from Elsternwick CC, Melbourne will join as an opening bowler looking to give us that much needed boost in the early parts of the opposition innings.
The 2nd XI will see Gareth Smith taking the role of skipper with support from Tom Davies - the youthful team will be looking to build on last year and take that additional and in some cases first taste of senior cricket forward meaning a few more of the close matches fall in our favour this time around.
Due to our ever extending number of juniors we are pleased to be able to re-enter a team into the 3rd XI competition enabling a route for our talented junior teams to experience senior cricket and hit that pathway to our second and first teams. Our 3rd XI will be led by Richard Dobson and Daniel Kennedy.
In addition to Jacob, our senior squads have been boosted with the signings of Sam and Mark Stoneman from Sutton CC and Jago Bean from Embsay CC along with a few returners to cricket who have recently moved to the area.
We are committed to continue investing in the wider aspects of cricket and this year will see us using live match videos played through our YouTube channel so even if you aren't able to visit, you will still be able to catch all the action.
As always, we look forward to offering a warm welcome to our opposition, officials and supporters to Sandylands for the 2026 season.
