Playing Cricket
Super Cricket
SACA Super Cricket is a fun, fast and social competition, with shorter matches and smaller teams than traditional cricket.
Super Cricket offers shortened mid-week and weekend matches, meaning less time commitment, while playing in a fun and relaxed environment. The competition is ideal for those with limited time who are not able to commit to a full-length cricket season.
NB: From season 2019-20 all competitions run by SACA, including Super Cricket, will include the British Standard helmets mandate in their playing conditions.
Pre-season T20 competition
A competition designed for clubs looking to get a step ahead of their competition by gaining valuable match practice in the lead up to the season. Also a great opportunity to trial players in a competitive environment. Benefits of this competition include live-scoring, meaning comprehensive statistics and supplied balls and facilities from SACA. All your team has to do is turn up!

Once again, SACA is offering a Sunday T20 competition with both hard wicket and turf to be offered at different costs. Matches are played with a white ball, similar to a BBL or T20 international match.
