Kensington District Cricket Club

Preseason is officially kicking into gear at Kensi for the junior boys🏏🤎💛

Our U13, U14 and U15.5 boys recently came together for their Junior Welcome Night at the Kensington Gardens Bowling & Sports Club.

It was a great chance for players and families to catch up, meet some new faces and get excited for the season ahead.

With another Academy Welcome Night also coming up in the next few weeks, there’s plenty happening around the club as we build towards season 2026/27.

Great to have the Browns back together! 🤎💛

🏏 Over 50s & Over 60s Cricket at Kensi! 🤎

We’re looking for a few more players as we finalise our SAMCA teams for the 2026/27 season.

Our goal is to field both an Over 50s and a new Over 60s side, but we need a few more players to make it happen!

If you’re over 50—or know someone who is—come along and get involved. Whether it’s a family member, friend, neighbour or workmate, we’d love for you to spread the word.

📅 Sunday 16 August
🏏 Join us for a relaxed hit, or if you’re not keen on training, come down for a beer and a chat from around 11:30am at Kensi.

The more interest we have, the more opportunities we’ll be able to offer this season.
