Welcome to our Junior Cricket page. We are a member of the Alexandra & Eastern Hills Cricket Association (AEHCA).
For the 2022/23 season we are fielding teams in Under 16s, Under 14s, Under 12s and Under 10s.
Wistow has fielded teams in junior grades for every season since the then Mt Barker & Eastern Hills Cricket Association (MBEHCA) first commenced an Under 16s “Colts” grade in 1970/71. Prior to the 1983/84 season, the MBEHCA merged with the Alexandra Cricket Association to form the AEHCA and by the second half of the 1980s the Colts competition had been expanded to include both Under 16s and Under 13s.
Commencing with the 1998/99 season, the Colts competition was again expanded to include teams in Under 16s, Under 14s and Under 12s with an Under 10s competition (featuring modified rules) being added by the 2012/13 season.
We have won two Under 16s premierships, in 1978/79 and 1986/87 as well as a number of lower grade premierships, including back-to-back Under 12s premierships in 2013/14 and 2014/15.
At present we compete in junior cricket against fellow AEHCA sides from Hahndorf, Mt Barker, Nairne, Strathalbyn, Echunga, Macclesfield, Ashbourne, Langhorne Creek, Lobethal and Woodside, with Lenswood Ranges and Gumeracha (whose senior sides compete in the Torrens Valley Cricket Association) fielding Under 16s and Under 10s teams respectively whilst Onkaparinga and Meadows (whose senior sides compete in the Hills Cricket Association) also fielding Under 10s teams.
Under 16s and Under 14s games are both played on Saturday mornings from 8.45am until approximately 11.00am whilst Under 12s and Under 10s are played on Friday evenings from 5.30pm until approximately 7.00pm.
This year’s Junior Cricket Co-ordinator is Anita Burgess who can be contacted for more information on 0412 868 227 or via email to juniorcricket@wistowcc.org.au
