👉 Mackay Cricket Association A-Grade fixtures is built on two key competitions:

🏆 The Poole Cup

Rich in history and tradition, the Poole Cup has evolved from a two-day format to a one-day competition over the years, while continuing to honour the traditional game of cricket.

It’s not about prize money — it’s about the honour of lifting the Cup and becoming part of a lasting legacy within the Mackay cricket community.

The Poole Cup Player of the Year honour sits alongside this, proudly recognised for generations at Harrup Park as part of the region’s cricketing history.

⚡ 🏏 T20 Fixture Cricket
A more modern, fast-paced format — sponsor-backed and played for prize money, delivering strong spectator appeal through big hitting, momentum swings, and game-changing moments.

🔥 Together, they define Mackay cricket — blending tradition with the evolving formats of the game, while preserving the proud legacy of the Poole Cup.

🏆 Magpies Poole Cup Pride 2025/26🏆
