Kenmore Cricket Club is ramping up its junior development efforts with a specialised winter holiday cricket clinic in Brookfield this July, following recent milestone celebrations marking its 50th anniversary.
Winter Holiday Program at Brookfield United Cricket Club
The Henschell Cricket Academy, led by former Queensland cricketer Brett Henschell, will conduct a four-day winter clinic at Brookfield United Cricket Club from 7 to 10 July 2025. Open to boys and girls aged 6 to 17, the program is designed to support players across all skill levels, from beginners to representative-level athletes.
Participants will train under Cricket Australia-accredited coaches in structured age and ability-based groups. The program includes three tailored streams: beginner, club player, and representative player. Sessions will run daily from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with each participant receiving a written assessment at the end. A Fletcher cricket bat will be awarded to one attendee.
The clinic fee is $220 (GST included), with family rates available.
Kenmore Cricket Club Recognises Half a Century of Community Cricket
Kenmore Cricket Club recently celebrated its 50th anniversary with a community luncheon held at West’s Rugby Club in Toowong on Friday, 16 May 2025. The event brought together past and present members, including current President Christian Sulisz and Club Founder Cliff Hemsworth.
Local official Christian Rowan presented a commemorative plaque in recognition of the milestone. Rowan, who played for the club between 1979 and 1983, joined other guests including former cricket figures John Buchanan, Brett Henschell, Michael Kasprowicz, Stuart Law, and Chris Hartley.
The Lunch & Legends event featured a two-course meal with drinks, raffles, auctions, and was hosted by MC Evan Bancroft. Funds raised contributed to the club’s ongoing operations and junior programs.
Year-Round Junior Cricket Pathways
Kenmore Cricket Club continues to offer a wide range of junior cricket opportunities through seasonal competitions. During summer, the club fields teams in the MSW Junior Cricket competition on Saturdays and in the BMC T20 Competition on Sundays. These cover under-12 to under-16 age groups with match formats ranging from 20 to 55 overs.
In winter, the club participates in Warehouse Cricket, offering one-day and two-day matches depending on the age group. Weekly training is held at times set by each team’s coach, with registrations typically opening in March for an April start.
Community Commitment to Future Development
Through year-round programming, school holiday clinics, and milestone events, Kenmore Cricket Club remains committed to grassroots sport and community engagement. The July clinic at Brookfield highlights its continued investment in young players and in strengthening cricket participation across Brisbane’s western suburbs.
