Presidents and Affiliated Clubs-CricketWest

Dear Presidents and Affiliate Clubs of CricketWest,

At the recent monthly board meeting CricketWest were notified that the WACA ground would not be available to host the final of the CricketWest Club Community Cup this year.

CricketWest’s financial position has also been somewhat impacted in recent seasons, particularly with regard to the rising costs of facilities maintenance and cricket match consumables. Unfortunately, CricketWest has not been able to secure an increase to its revenue streams for this season.

With regard to these two elements combined and the boards understanding of the popularity of the club representative cup, which includes the opportunity for players to represent not only their own club, but to also play on the WA home of cricket (WACA ground) in a final has made the decision to postpone the competition for this season a very difficult one for the board.

CricketWest is totally committed to community cricket and we will make every effort to reinvigorate the Club Community Cup in coming seasons.

The board thanks affiliates for their understanding and wishes every club the very best for season 2023-2024.

Yours sincerely

Brad Pearce

Chairman CricketWest Inc
