Willaston Cricket Club

Our Creed

willaston-sporting-club-cricket-gawler-donny-brooks

Players, members, supporters, families, and volunteers of the Willaston Cricket Club embrace the “Donnybrook Spirit“, which has been passed down to us since 1889 when we were founded by the local clay-pit workers of Willaston.

The strong club history is instilled within us as we all collectively strive for success.

To achieve this, we acknowledge…

  • Donnybrooks Spirit is to demonstrate a “one in, all in” attitude, portrayed through courage, strength and determination.
  • Donnybrook Spirit is expressed through being honest to yourself and your teammates in all aspects of the cricket club.

It is a privilege to wear the Donnybrook emblem, as you embrace the feeling of great strength & courage to play with a never give in attitude.

Always respect yourself, teammates, club members and the opposition.

When talent fails, hard work always prevails.

Team and club success outweigh individual success.

Ensure the club is in a better position than when you arrived.

Demonstrate high morals and excellence, both on and off the field.

We do this together as players, supporters and members – One In – All In.
Success is measured in premierships and achieved as One.

BIG WEEKEND AHEAD FOR THE DONNYS!

A big weekend of cricket coming up, with our A1 boys facing a double-header at home, while the A3s hit the road!

A1 – DOUBLE-HEADER AT HOME!

📍 Elliot Goodger Memorial Park

Saturday – Willaston v South Gawler

The A1 boys kick things off on Saturday against local Gawler rivals South Gawler in what should be a cracking contest!

Fresh off last weekend’s thrilling one-wicket victory over Nuriootpa, the boys will be looking to carry that momentum into another big game.

Sunday – Willaston v Sandy Creek

The boys back it up on Sunday against ladder leaders Sandy Creek in what shapes as a massive challenge.

Two big games in two days, with plenty on the line for the A1s!

And after his heroic 1 not out to get the Donnys over the line last weekend, the talk around town is that Johnny Ritzema has his eyes on a promotion up the batting order!

A3 – Greenock v Willaston

📍 Greenock Oval | Saturday, 1pm

The A3 boys head to Greenock full of confidence after last weekend’s dominant 134-run victory over Nuriootpa.

With Lyndon Woods coming off a magnificent unbeaten 154 and Max Gray fresh from his incredible 6/16, the boys will be keen to keep the good form rolling.

Another big opportunity to build some momentum!

A4 – Eudunda Robertstown v Willaston

📍 Eudunda Oval | Saturday, 1pm

TO BE CONFIRMED

Our A4 fixture against Eudunda Robertstown is still to be confirmed, with an update to come.

Good luck to our A1 and A3 sides this weekend, especially the A1 boys with their big double-header!

Get down to Willaston Oval on Saturday & Sunday and get behind the boys!

🔴🔵 UP THE DONNYS!

🏏❤️💙 JUNIOR WEEKEND WRAP UP! 💙❤️🏏

A big weekend of cricket for our Willaston juniors!

🏏 Under 16s
Our Under 16s went down to Tanunda in a nailbiter! After posting 106 in the first week, the boys fought hard with the ball, but Tanunda managed to get over the line at 8/109 after 31 overs. A great effort from the team!

🏏 Under 12s - Another fantastic win for our Under 12s! 👏
Willaston 7/90 defeated Kapunda 8/80.
Well done to all the players on a great team effort!

🏏 Under 10s - Finally, third time lucky! 🙌 After two weeks of washouts, our youngest cricketers finally got their first game in against Gawler Central!

While they went down 107 to 71, it was great to see them out on the field enjoying their cricket. Plenty more games and opportunities ahead! 🏏

👏 Well done to all our junior players, coaches and families!

🍟 A big thank you to McDonald's for their continued support of our Junior Player Awards. We really appreciate your contribution to our young cricketers!

❤️💙 GO WILLASTON! 🏏
