PDJCA wishes to advise that the 2018/19 season will commence on Saturday with the following structure:
U/17s: a competition featuring two Parkes teams (Hawkes and Bayliss) and two Forbes teams.
Games will feature some two day games in which 50 overs (each side to bat 25 overs) will be played one Saturday and another 50 overs (each side to bat 25 overs) will be played the next Saturday, this format has been adopted successfully in Dubbo and allows players to build their innings before retiring at 40. All players will be required to bowl at least 2 overs each week.
26 overs a side games will enable shorter length games to be played, particularly on Friday evenings under the lights at Northparkes Oval.
U/14s: a competition involving two Parkes teams (Thunder and Sixers) and two Forbes teams. Games to be 26 overs a side.
U/12s: a competition featuring two Parkes teams (Scorchers and Renegades)and up to four Forbes teams. Games to be 20 overs a side
*All the above games will begin at 8.30am so players must be at the grounds by 8.15am*
U/10s: The U/10s still require extra players, at the time of going to press there are enough players to make 3 teams. It is to be hoped that a few extra players could register to make 4 teams. In the meantime U/10 players will report to Armstrong Park to be involved in skills based cricket activities and games. These will start at 8.45am
As the season progresses it is to be hoped that Forbes U/10’s teams will play games with/against Parkes U/10’s teams.

This situation has changed with the availability of up to 5 players form Condobolin keen to join the Parkes ranks. Among the Condobolin players are highly talented players Riley Keen and Ryan Goodsell. Mr Russell Keen of Condobolin has offered his assistance to Greg Morrissey of Parkes to guide the Parkes/Condobolin U/14 team.
