Unfortunately, due to the consistent rain, training at Cook Park has been cancelled this week. The decision was made for player safety and to give a chance to keep the grounds playable for Sunday.more

Unfortunately due to the overnight rain we have had to make the decision to call off the games scheduled at Cook Park today.

Auskick, 11's, 14's & 17's.

This was not an easy decision. The cricket pitch area was unsafe for play & we weren't prepared to risk the safety of our or opposing players - which was a distinct possibility based on state of pitch just walking on it was an issue.more
