Congratulayions to Billy Taylor on signing with Port Melbourne Cricket Club for the 2026/27 Vicotrian Sub-District Cricket Association campaign.

Following a standout debut season on Australian soil last summer, where he notched just shy of 500 runs with a highest score of 156, the wicketkeeper-batter will be looking to build on those performances in his new colours for the Borough.

The Helston Cricket Club and Cornwall Cricket man will bring plenty of quality and previous Australian experience to Port's line-up as they gear up for the new campaign.

A serious addition for the Borough this summer.

All the best for the season ahead, Billy! 🤝

Welcome to the Borough lads 🔴🔵

Congratulations to Otto Francis-Jones and Max Lloyd on signing with Port Melbourne Cricket Club for the 2026/27 Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association campaign.

The Oswestry Cricket Club duo will swap Shropshire for the heart of Melbourne, embarking on their maiden season on Australian soil. Both players will be looking to make an immediate impact on the field while embracing the culture, community and values that make the Borough such a special club.

All the very best for the season ahead, lads! 🤝

HOF Supply Group will also continue as major sponsor of our Craig Shield squad during the same period. 🔴🔵

Although the high performance group have already commenced their pre-season campaign, here is the full schedule for all grades 🔴🔵

New Sponsor Announcement
We are pleased to announce that Pavilion Scorecard will be our Junior Major Sponsor for the next two seasons.
Gone are the days where the Club Secretary had to recreate a major milestone of a century or 7 wickets by re-writing a copy of the original scorebook.
Pavilion Scorecard make it easy to commemorate that special milestone and present it in a vast range of custom frames.
The concept started in Aus in 2025 with many clubs in Aus seeking their services and have only just recently launched to the UK market.
Thank you to Vivek Mittal & the team.

Achievements
- 93 Games over 2nd, 4th, 5th & Masters
- Dual Premiership Player (Masters)
- Captained 4th & 5th XI at a time in the clubs history whereby playing stocks weren’t great and his Captaincy led to a pathway for our juniors to transition into senior cricket. A legacy we still enjoy today.
- Three time Best Clubman 2019/20, 2021/22 & 2024/25
- 4th XI Batting Award 2018/19

In addition, his tireless work over the past 11 seasons alleviated the work pressure on other committee members in terms of operational duties that needed performing on a daily basis.

In more recent times he oversaw the restoration of valuable club assets (roller & Sooper Soper) providing us with fixed assets amounting in over $85,000 of value to the club.

Congratulations Bill well deserved
