Welcome to the Waurn Ponds Cricket Club
A change is coming.....
A lot has happened since the end of last season!
We have 4 new committee members and are looking forward to returning to our home ground this season which is in pristine condition after being returfed and having a fence erected to keep those Bugs Bunnies away.
Last season was very difficult for a number of reasons but we have put that behind us now as we look forward to a season of positive change. New players, new coach (sort of), new ground and new committee all add up to a very prosperous year.
Formerly known as the University Cricket Club, the club changed its name in March 2006 to provide Waurn Ponds with its own sporting identity. The suburb is one of the fastest growing in Geelong and the committee and members felt it was time that the community had a team of its own. We still retain strong links with Deakin University and encourage all students, staff and past graduates to join one of the region’s most exciting clubs.If you’re proud of where you’re from, take your cricket seriously or just feel like a bit of hit and giggle, then one of our five teams can cater for you.
Our home ground is known as Jarvis Oval (see map), which is based at Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus (enter off Pigdons Road and turn into Nicol Drive South). Like most sporting fields, the effects of drought have hit hard but recent works to drought-proof our facilities has restored Jarvis back to its pristine best. It still remains as one of Geelong’s most scenic grounds and its turf wicket table has a reputation as being one of the best in Geelong.
Our 3rd XI and one-day teams play at Deakin’s Lakeside Oval and the Rugby Oval (see map). Both grounds have synthetic wickets and surfaces that provide maximum value for good shot making.
On the social front, Waurn Ponds has a hectic schedule and provides members, supporters and sponsors with terrific value in a vibrant atmosphere for partners, children and visitors. For more information, visit the Social Events section of this website for a complete and up to date list of activities.
Most importantly of all, the Waurn Ponds Cricket Club extends a warm welcome to anyone who is interested in contributing to any success that we may enjoy. We also have an ever expanding Junior Program with Milo Cricket and Under 11’s (hopefully Under 13’s this season!).
To those who have not experienced Waurn Ponds’ unique style, we encourage you to get on board!
GO EAGLES!
