We are absolutely thrilled to officially announce the signing of David Hambrook for the 2026/27 season! 🎉

Joining us from Portarlington Cricket Club, ‘Hammer’ is a talented all-rounder who brings a wealth of BPCA, GCA, and coaching experience to the Saints.

The Hambrook family are already a huge part of our junior program. In fact, it was Hammer’s time coaching our Under 11’s last year that sparked his enthusiasm to officially make the move to the Saints! So it’s a welcome back to him and his family!

We’re super excited to have David, his wife Amy, daughter Daisy, and sons Ted and Louis around the club again next year! 💛💙

🔷 MAJOR SPONSOR 🔷

We are incredibly excited to announce Mortimers Petroleum as a new Major Sponsor!! 🎉🏏

Mortimers will be taking the prime spot for our Men’s 1st XI and Women’s coloured playing kits for seasons to come!

When it’s time to get fuel or a quick snack for the road, make sure that Mortimers is your number one stop! ⛽️🍫

We thank them for their generous support and welcome them aboard! 💙💛

We are thrilled to announce that Nick Hallam is locked in for the 2026/27 season, returning for his second year as playing Assistant Coach 🔥🏏

A masterclass in touch and timing, making the hardest gaps in the ground look entirely vacant. Known for his high cricket IQ and an anchor in our batting line up, Nick brings pure class to the crease.

More importantly, his passion for growing our club on and off the field embodies everything we stand for!

Super excited to see what this season brings for you Nick! Looking forward to having you, Alyce and Louie back around the club 💙💛

We are absolutely stoked to announce that James Burns has recommitted for season 2026/27! 🏏💥

If you’ve been around the club for a while, you already know what Jimmy brings to the table. He has been the backbone of our bowling attack for years, regularly walking away with bags of wickets and topping the club charts over multiple seasons! 🙌

He’s the ultimate workhorse on the field, the first to help out around the rooms, and a great bloke to share a laugh with after the game.

Looking forward to see what this season holds for you, mate! Let’s go grab a few more poles this season! 💙💛

🔥 HE’S BACK 🔥

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that the big hitting, boundary clearing machine Troy Griffin has recommitted for the 2026/27 season! 🏏💥

He’s coming off a massive year where he earned a well-deserved spot in the BPCA All Star Team of the Year for his outstanding batting performances - including two centuries!

But as much as we love watching him clear the boundary, he’s also a ripping bloke off the field as well! We look forward to having him and his family back again this season 🙌

Can’t wait to see what next season brings for you Troyza!! 💙💛
