We
have approximately 30 senior players and sixty junior players and play our home
matches on a public park called Crossens Recreation Ground at the north end of
Southport. Our pavilion doubles as a Community Centre for the local area, it has
social and changing facilities. We socialize in a local pub after matches.
New
Victoria have two adult teams in the Southport Amateur League, the 1st Xl
playing in the Premier Division and the 2nd Xl in Division 4. The senior games
are played on Saturday afternoons with cup matches on some Sunday afternoons.
Each team plays an average of 22 games per season.
Our junior
section has grown rapidly in recent years and in 2007 we will have teams in all
four age group leagues – Under 11, Under 13, Under 15 and Under 18. These
teams play about 10 evening matches each per season of 20 overs each side. The
junior teams all play in the Southport Junior Cricket League. Some of the older
junior players also play in the 2nd Xl on a Saturday afternoon. A
number of our senior players have obtained coaching qualifications in order to
coach the junior teams.
In the past the
following honours have been achieved – 1st Xl won Division 3 in 1989 and 1999 and the 2nd Xl won Division 3
in 1967 and Division 5 in 1989. The 2nd Xl have been runners up in
their cup competition in 1999 and 2005. Our Under 11 team have won their league
twice and their cup once in recent years. In 2006 the Under 15 Xl won Division C
of their league.
