🏏💙💛 WE’RE LOOKING FOR 6 MORE WOMEN! 💛💙🏏

VRI Delacombe Cricket Club is looking at the exciting possibility of fielding TWO women’s teams this season — and we only need 6 more players to help make it happen! 🙌

Whether you’ve played cricket before, haven’t picked up a bat in years, or have never played at all, we’d love to have you!

Our women’s cricket is all about having a go, meeting new people, enjoying the social side of being part of a club and, of course, playing some cricket along the way! 🏏

✨ No experience necessary
✨ Beginners are absolutely welcome
✨ Supportive and social environment
✨ Come along with a friend — or bring a whole group!

If you’ve ever thought about giving cricket a go, this is your sign! 💙💛

We’re just 6 players away from potentially having two VRI women’s sides this season.

📩 Send us a message if you’re interested or would like some more information!

Come be part of VRI! 🚂🏏
