Any past or new players to the area are most welcome to join our fantastic club and look forward to seeing you at training.
The Shepparton Youth Club United Cricket Club was formed in 2003 from the merger of Shepparton CC and Shepparton Youth Club CC.
After returning to our home ground at Princess Park for the 23/24 season, following the floods of November 2022, the club improved on and off field, and will be celebrating our 21st year this year as well.
Our club was competitive in all grades, with both our women’s and B grade men’s teams making the finals, with the women’s team reaching the preliminary. Our A Grade team will be looking to secure 1-2 more wins in 2024/25 and push into the top 8 for finals.
​
In 2024/25 we are launching our Girls cricket teams to build on our Master Blasters
program, junior cricket and provide a pathway into our women’s team. To support
this development, we have our first female international player, Sophie Ulah, joining our club to coach and develop the girls teams.
We are fielding Senior and Junior Teams, including our new girls, affiliated with
Cricket Shepparton and our Women’s Teams play within the Goulburn Murray
Cricket League. We also have an All-Abilities Program, culminating in the Harmony
Cup Day.
​
The township of Shepparton is in the heart of Victoria and is known as the “Food Bowl” of Australia with a large fruit growing and Dairy Industry. The Greater Shepparton area has a population of around 60,000 residents and is expanding daily.​
Our main home ground is called Riordan Oval, which is a part of the Princess Park Sporting Precinct, located just a 5-minute walk to the Shepparton CBD and is surrounded by bush land and the Goulburn River. There are two grounds at this location, one turf and the other a hard wicket. Our training facilities are also located at the Princess Park precinct.
​
Our senior men’s teams compete in the 1st, 2nd and 4th divisions with Junior teams competing across the various age divisions. It is one of our clubs’ highest priorities to continue to develop our young cricketers to build them towards Senior Cricket.
​
We continue to foster a friendly social atmosphere off the ground and always try to be inclusive of our junior players and their families.
​
Our club has teamed up with Connect GV to deliver our All Abilities program and we have a good working relationship with Local Council and Shepparton Swans Football and Netball Club.
​
Between both original clubs we can boast 23 "A" Grade Premierships as well as a host of other senior and junior premierships. Our clubs have produced 10 Life Members of the Shepparton Cricket Association and 2 Legend Award recipients.
​
Our aim is to return to these successful days, and we are continually working towards these goals through our development programs and following our club vision and goals.
​
We look forward to seeing you at our club and enjoying our 21st year….
