CHADS CHAMPS CRICKET

Huge thanks to all our sponsors who jumped on board this year to kit the Chads out with a brand-new, fully lit flash kit! 🙌
Ally & the legends at LJM Designs, absolutely nailed the design and kept the team looking sharp all weekend.
We couldn’t have done it without your support. Thank you! 💪

This year we were proud to officially open the Benny Lucas Cricket Shed, named in honour of Benny Lucas, beloved brother of Matt Lucas ❤️

It’s a place for mates, memories, and beers. Benny’s name will now be part of every game played here.

Hanging proudly inside is a sign reading “Sensational”, in honour of Big Mick, keeping his spirit and legacy a part of every match day.

A fitting tribute, and a place that will be well used and well loved.

Chad Champs Weekend Recap 🍻

What a weekend! Three games of cricket, countless laughs, elite levels of mateship, and a heroic amount of beers consumed.

While the scoreboard didn’t exactly favour us, it’s safe to say we absolutely dominated the beer drinking division — undefeated, untouchable, reigning champs.

Huge thanks to our Captain for pulling the whole weekend together.
Shout-out to Sharon for feeding the masses — no one ever plays well hungry and she made sure that wasn’t an issue.
Big thanks to Ally for organising the kit and keeping us looking the part.

Team awards for the weekend:

🏆 Players’ Player – Matt Shaw
🏏 Best Batter – Mat Hite
🎯 Best Bowler – Carl ‘Daddii’ Vellacott

And of course, thank you to our sponsors for backing the team, the chaos, and the tradition that is Chad Champs.

Cricket was played. Beers were sunk. Memories were made.
Wouldn’t change a thing. 🍻🏏
