SPEED. FIRE. COMMITMENT. 🔥

Waratah-Mayfield DCC is thrilled to announce that fast bowler Nic Bourke has re-signed for the upcoming season.

One of the competition’s most dangerous quicks, Nic brings pace, aggression, and plenty of energy every time he takes the ball. A key member of our squad, his ability to strike at crucial moments makes him a massive asset in the navy and red.

We're excited to have Bourkey locked in for another season and can't wait to see him charging in and rattling stumps once again.

Great to have you back, Nic! 🔴🔵

BIG news for Waratah-Mayfield DCC 🔥

We’re proud to announce Liam Wilson as our new First Grade Captain.

From his early days as a junior to now leading our top side, Liam’s journey is what our club is all about. His dedication, work ethic, and passion for the navy and red has never gone unnoticed.

Respected by teammates, committed to the club, and ready to take on the challenge, we can’t wait to see Liam guide the group this season.

Join us in congratulating our new skipper 👏🔴🔵

Locked in for another season 🔒

A local sporting initiative to support the much-loved Sleapy’s Foundation has bowled over its rivals on the state and national stages.

The first-ever Sleapy’s Cup, an alliance between the Waratah-Mayfield District Cricket Club and The University of Newcastle Cricket Club - Seadragons, enabled the respective organisations to take home the prestigious Cricket NSW Community Partnership Award.

The event was also recognised at the Cricket Australia gala presentation.
