Queensland Cricket is rolling out a special opportunity for young girls in Townsville these school holidays with a free ‘Girls Come and Try’ cricket day. This event is designed to introduce girls aged 8 to 13 to the sport, whether they’re newcomers or seasoned players eager to sharpen their skills.
The session will be held on Friday, September 27, from 9 am to 12.30 pm at the Riverway Cricket Nets. All necessary equipment will be provided, ensuring that participants can fully immerse themselves in the experience without needing to bring anything along.
In addition to the cricket activities, the day will include a refreshing swim in the Riverway Lagoons at 11.45 am, followed by a sausage sizzle to round off the morning. It’s not just about learning the game but also about enjoying a day out with friends, making it an ideal way for girls to decide if cricket is the sport for them.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to invite friends and neighbours who might be interested in giving cricket a try. With numbers steadily growing for the upcoming Term 4 Girls 12 & Under League, this event offers a great chance for potential new players to get a taste of the action in a fun and supportive environment.
Queensland Cricket is looking forward to seeing many new faces and hopes this event will inspire more young girls to join the exciting world of cricket.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.

• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
