The kids are affectionately described as the club’s ‘babies’ and play each Friday afternoon at Black Beach, arguably the most beautiful cricket ground in Australia, under the supervision of Craig McCorkell.
McCorkell has 22 players ranging in age from four to seven years and are learning new skills in a family friendly atmosphere that encourages fun and enjoyment.
“The kids were selected to be part of the On Ground Entertainment during the lunch break of the Ashes Pink Test match between Australia and England on Jane McGrath Day,” Kiama Cricket Club’s John Dawson said.
“They demonstrated the skills that Craig had taught them in front of 40,000 spectators on the greatest cricket ground in Australia.”
