Parkfield Cricket Club

🚨 NEW SIGNING 🚨

Parkfield is very excited to have another pom joining us for the 26/27 season in George Dean!

As a quick opening bowler, George will add depth to our already strong bowling ranks. So far this season for his club Belbroughton he has taken 30 wickets at 21.17 with a best of 5/37. He also peeled off a century batting at number 10 a few weeks ago!

Welcome George, we can’t wait to see your performances on and off field!💙

Hi everyone, I’m Dan and I’m excited to be joining Parkfield for the upcoming season. As an all-rounder, I’m looking forward to bringing some energy and versatility to the batting and bowling units. I’ve previously had two experiences in Australia playing in Tasmania then Melbourne which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. I can’t wait to get started, meet everyone at the club and contribute to a successful season for Parkfield 🤙

Hi, I’m Jen and I’m really looking forward to joining Parkfield CC for the upcoming season. I’m an opening seam bowler and right handed batter and I’m excited to play in a new environment as it’ll be my first time playing cricket in Aus! I can’t wait to get started and meet everyone 👍

VALE BILL 🕊️

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Bill Fear.

Bill was a familiar face at our Melbourne Cup Day celebrations and a passionate supporter of his son, former Parkfield player Paul. His presence and support over the years will be fondly remembered by many.

On behalf of everyone at Parkfield Cricket Club, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Paul, Shaun, and the entire Fear family. Our thoughts and love are with you all during this difficult time.

Rest in peace Bill.

🚨 RECOMMITTED 🚨

Parkfield is excited to announce that Madhushi Muthukuda has re-committed for the 2026/27 season! 💙

Dushi is one of the most committed and hardworking members of our club, always looking for ways to improve her game and give her best for the team. Her dedication at training and on match day is a reflection of the passion and determination she brings to this group.

A dependable batter, a gun fielder, and someone we always back when we need a crucial breakthrough. Madushi is an invaluable part of our side. Whether it is batting out the overs, claiming an important wicket, or making sure nothing gets past her in the field, she always steps up when it matters most.

Off the field, she will always be there to make sure the brownie supply for afternoon tea never runs dry!

Good luck this season Dushi! 💙

🚨 RECOMMITTED 🚨

Another massive piece of the club locked in!

We’re thrilled to have Chris Pond recommit for the 2026/27 season.

Over the past few years, Pondy has poured an enormous amount into the Parkfield Cricket Club. Through his roles as Vice President and 2nd XI Captain, he has been a driving force behind the club both on and off the field, helping shape the culture and direction of the group.

Of course, he also won’t let anyone forget that he (co)captained the 2nd XI to a premiership, and rightly so.

But beyond the silverware and the leadership titles, Pondy has consistently been someone who puts the club first. Whether it’s behind the scenes, helping players, organising club matters, or supporting teammates, his contribution to Parkfield has been immense.

This season, Pondy has made the decision to step away from his official leadership positions, allowing others the opportunity to step up while giving himself the chance to focus on his own cricket. While he’ll still be around helping wherever he can, this change provides an exciting circuit breaker and an opportunity for him to concentrate solely on his game.

We’re looking forward to seeing what a refreshed Pondy can produce this season and, as always, we know his experience and passion for the club will continue to have a huge impact.

Great to have you going around again Pondy 💙

🚨 RECOMMITTED 🚨

A true clubman goes around again!

We’re absolutely thrilled to have Stevie Cannon recommit for the 2026/27 season.

A Parkfield man through and through, Stevie has been a part of the fabric of our club for many years. Having led the 1st XI for a number of seasons and spent countless years serving on the committee, Stevie has been one of the club’s great cultural drivers and leaders both on and off the field.

Last season saw Stevie step down as 1st XI captain after many years at the helm. Beginning the season in the 2nd XI, he played an important role in mentoring younger players and emerging leaders while continuing to lead through his actions and experience.

After piling on 248 runs at an outstanding average of 48.4, Stevie forced his way back into the 1st XI during the run home and played an important role in our side.

More than the runs and performances, Stevie’s love for the Parkfield Cricket Club is obvious to everyone who knows him. His passion, leadership, and willingness to always put the club first make him an incredibly important figure within our playing group.

We’re incredibly excited to see Stevie pull on the blue and white once again in 2026/27.

Great to have you back Stevie 💙

🚨RECOMMITTED 🚨

We’re excited to announce the recommitment of Grace Lewis for the 2026/27 season.

The numbers speak for themselves on what an important role she plays for our women’s team. After another outstanding season, Grace finished with 270 runs at an average of 33.75, including a top score of 85 and three half centuries. With the ball, she’s just as impactful, claiming 7 wickets at an impressive average of 16.14.

Her all round performances didn’t go unnoticed, earning her a well deserved spot in the League Team of the Year. A player who brings consistency, control, and match winning ability, we can’t wait to see what she delivers this season.

Off-field she is a valued member of Parkfield who is always committed to helping the club and having a good time. I’m sure it won’t be long until she is asking for the events schedule 🍻

All the best for the season Grace 💙

🚨RECOMMITTED 🚨

A true Parkfield man locked in for another season!

We’re thrilled to have Riley Payne recommit for the 2026/27 season. Riley has been part of the Parkfield family since birth and continues to embody everything our club stands for.

Having been a mainstay in our 1st XI for nearly a decade, Riley has always been someone who quietly goes about his business, but his impact is never far away. Whether it’s an important contribution with the bat or one of his trademark screamers in the gully, Riley has the ability to change a game in a moment.

Off the field, Riley’s value to the club is just as significant. He’s always one of the first to put his hand up to help, and one of the last to leave when there’s a club function on. His commitment, loyalty, and willingness to contribute are qualities that make him such a valued member of the Parkfield community.

Riley also possesses a brilliant cricketing mind, something he’ll put to great use this season as he steps into the role of 2nd XI Captain. It’s a role Riley was keen to take on, and one we have no doubt he’ll thrive in as he continues to develop his leadership and help drive the next generation of Parkfield cricketers.

A massive piece of the club locked in once again. We can’t wait to see what another season brings, Riles 💙
