The True Blues compete in Cricket Victoria's Premier Cricket men's and women's cricket competitions.
Men's cricket
We field four teams in the senior men's Premier Cricket competition and one youth team in the Premier Cricket U18s competition.
We also field a club team in the U16 WJ Dowling Shield competition.
Women's cricket
We field three teams in the senior women's Premier Cricket competition and one youth team in the Premier Cricket U18s competition.
We also field a club team in the U15 Marg Jennings Cup competition.
Junior Development Academies
Our male and female junior development squads have been established as part of the Premier Cricket Junior Development Program. They provide opportunities for talented young cricketers to develop their game and for advancement through our Premier Cricket U18s, U16 WJ Dowling Shield and U15 Marg Jennings Cup squads, and ultimately the Cricket Victoria emerging player programs.
Squads for the Marg Jennings Cup and Dowling Shield are selected from these development academies.
The development squads generally operate through the later part of the winter pre-season period.
Note that the club does not run open trials for team squads and our development squads are invitation only.
