New faces in Senior roles for 2022/23
Ballan Cricket Club welcomes and congratulates two popular members of our  club into the most senior roles of President and Senior coach.
Firstly in the President Role is David Leach who started playing for Ballan in 2019. David joined our general committee last year and has also been looking after our U11 teams along with Jenny Bates. He  always puts his hand up to help out where he can including as Rec Reserve Rep. Not only is David great behind the scenes he is also well represented on the field and continues to play well with our 2nd XI.
A well respected member of the club David is very approachable and should do well. He taking the reins from Noel Heafield who decided to step down to Vice President this year after 4 seasons as President.

The Senior Coach role has been filled by
Mark Kennedy. Again a very popular club member and 1sts player who, as David has, joined us in 2019 and been on the committee from last season. Mark is keen to do well with the boys and wants the team to support each other throughout the season and through individual games whilst enjoying the game. Mark has played for Ballan with 42 matches to his name as a top order batsman and a handy  lower order bowler as well as being super keen in the field.
We wish them both the best for the current and upcoming seasons.

Well done Sarah Burton & Clover McIlwaine
Some inspiration for all junior cricketers!
After some injuries in the opening rounds of the U15 Girls YPL, the Highlanders were struggling to have a full squad for the remaining games. A massive thank you to Clover McIlwaine who went from a supporter on Monday to a sub on Tuesday, assisting the team in the field for the next four games, including contributing to a great run out and helping the team get a win against against Metro West Spirit - the eventual YPL Champions. Clover fitted into the team seamlessly, staying with them on campus and attending all squad meetings. Well done Clover, you are always prepared and ready for any opportunity!

 A huge  congratulations
to Sarah Burton for her efforts at the U/15 Female Youth Premier League (State Championships) playing for Central Highlands over the past week and a half. The team played 7 games in a mixed format of T20 and One Day games, throughout the tournament. After losing the first game then drawing the second, they went on to win the next 5 games (including defeating the competition leader). The Highlanders finished second overall for their pool, just missing out on a spot in the grand-final.
This was Sarah's first time competing at this level and at 12 years old was one of the youngest members of the team.
Not overawed by any of this, Sarah put in some amazing performances throughout the competition, making runs and taking wickets with her spin bowling that got better every game. Sarah was continually challenged by her Coaches, Captain and the opposition. She embraced these challenges and excelled. She even opened the batting in one game and set the perfect platform for her team to build on. She dominated in the field predominantly at short cover (her favourite spot) and displayed the competitiveness, skill and team focus that we have the pleasure of seeing every week at our club in our U13s and u15s mixed teams.
Well done Sares, dream big.

2nd XI Captain for 2021/22
We have another welcome to the leadership group at the Ballan Cricket Club for this season.
Max Burton has taken the reigns as 2nd XI Captain from Troy Connor for the upcoming season.
Max has been involved with the club as a player since 2018/19 and always gives his all both on and off the field. Although only playing 20 games with us, he is a well-respected player and person who the rest of the team and club look up to.
Max, along with Mary, keenly follow both kids, Sarah and James, with their cricket in the junior’s competitions.
This season also sees Max assisting the Junior Coaches
Having taken on the leadership role, Max will be looking at giving his best to his team and club.
Once again welcome Max.

Noel is taking over from Mick Loughnane who is stepping in as chairman of selectors.
As our current President, Noel has decided to take on the role again and hopefully follow on from Mick's successes with the team over the past few years.
Since Noel joined the club in 2008 he has played 116 matches taken 120 wickets and made 3479 runs at an average of 37.01.
Noel has also been a Premiership coach and player for Ballan, Dual Club Champion, member of the 'Team of the Modern Era 1970-2015', BCA Batting average winner 2013/14 and Bernie Davey medalist 2014/15.

​GAME DAY/TRAINING SHIRTS AND SHORTS.

By Ben Loughnane.

Gday everyone this year we are trying something different and using TNF to create some game day/training shirts and shorts for us.
Go to the link to make your order, on the site you choose your size of the shirt and shorts and if you want to add your last name and number to the shirt at no extra cost. Also you can choose if the shirt is long or short sleeve if you choose long it will cost $4 extra.
Once you have ordered you pay for it there then it will get sent to the club once completed and we will hand it out from there.
The site will close on the 12th of September so if anyone doesn’t have your order in by then you will not be able to.
If anyone has any questions just ask.

About Us.
The Ballan Cricket Club currently has 2 Senior teams and 4 under age teams competing in the Ballarat Cricket  Association for the 2020/2021 season.
Current teams for this season are: Senior 1st XI - BCA 2nd Grade comp , Senior 2nd XI - BCA 4th Grade comp .

And 4 junior teams;
BCA:U17 2nd XI, U15 2nd XI , U11 Seniors   & U13 2nd XI Spratling.


Our Under 11's play on Wednesday nights starting at 4.30pm.
Under 13's play on Friday nights starting at 5.00pm. 
Under 15 & 17's play on Saturday mornings beginning at 8.30am.

This last season saw another successful season with our Senior 1st XI taking out the Premiership without facing a ball due to Covid 19.  Ballan 
finished on top of the ladder after defeating Wendouree in the Qualifying Final . During the following week a decision was made by the BCA to cancel the remainder of the season thus leaving us as the Premiers.

In 2015/16 season, Cam Dunne won the top award for the 2nd Grade competition, with the Bernie Davey Medal, after Noel Heafield won the same award the previous season. 2018/19 saw Michael Snaith bring home the medal once again for the club.
Michael Snaith continues with the role of captaining our senior 1st XI, with Troy Connor taking on the 2nd XI captaincy with his return to Ballan cricket.
Both sides are, again, under the reins of Senior coach Mick Loughnane.

Under 11 coaches are Jenny Bates assisted by David Leach.
Under 13's have Troy Connor and Anthony McIlwaine as their coaches. 

Under 15's  are also with Anthony McIlwaine.
Lachie Snaith has taken on our Under 17 side with help from a couple of other senior players.

The 'Milo" cricket will be back on Thursday nights, with a name change. 'Woolworths Junior Blasters' again as there are a lot of kids who enjoy getting a start to their cricket careers.


 Training will still be at Ballan.

The Centurions supporters club is still continuing with the BCC to bring non playing members ( ex players & supporters alike) together to be recognized as a large and ongoing  part of the club.

Well done to all of our teams for the previous season & good luck for the current season.
  And many thanks to our sponsors and supporters.



Where we are.
