Men’s Cricket
The Sydney University Cricket Club (SUCC) is one of the oldest sporting clubs at the University, boasting over 150 years of passion and tradition. SUCC has nine men’s teams that compete in the Sydney Grade, Metropolitan Cup and Lions (veterans) Competitions, that caters for the elite through to the social player.
The Club were the 2016-17 NSW Premier Cricket 1st Grade Premiers and won the Club Championship in 2018/19.
In the 2019/20 season1st Grade team also won the Limited overs Cup for the 2nd time.
In 2023/24 the SUCC 3rd Grade team only lost one match in the preliminary rounds to win the Minor Premiership and followed this up by beating Manly in the Grand Final to win the Mitchell Cup.
Women’s Cricket
The Women’s Program was welcomed into the Club in at the start of season 2023/24 and huge progress has already been made in developing this program under the guidance of former Australian Test Captain Alex Blackwell and her staff.
At SUCC we cater from beginners to representative players with women’s teams in first, second, third grade and Brewer Shield (U18s) in the Sydney Premier women’s competition.
Training is Wednesdays at the University of Sydney campus and home games are played on campus. The season usually starts early October and plays through to the end of March.
1st Grade, 2nd Grade and Brewer Shield teams play Sundays on turf pitches with mixed format (Limited Overs and T20s). 3rd Grade is social but competitive cricket for those players who would like to give cricket a try or play socially. It is played on Saturdays on synthetic pitches around Sydney.
SUCC has qualified coaches who run training sessions and attend game day matches.
SUCC boasts international, WNCL and WBBL players and alumni – Phoebe Litchfield (Current Australian, NSW and Sydney Thunder cricketer), Alex Blackwell (Former Aust VC, former NSW Breakers Capt and Sydney Thunder Capt), Rachel Trenaman (NSW Breakers), Maddy Darke (Western Australia), Stella Campbell (NSW Breakers), Amy Yates (ACT Meteors), Carly Leeson (ACT Meteors), and more!
