Central Coast Cricket Association (CCCA) has taken a major honour at the NSW Communty Cricket Awards.
CCCA was named Community Cricket Association of the Year at the annual awards run by Cricket NSW.
CCCA Manager David Winiata said the award is based on: how the association engages and supports all clubs; if it embraces technology and what impact this has; and if it embraces opportunities for a full cricket pathway.
Winiata said the association offers a full junior cricket pathway from Blasters through to U17s and a full female pathway from Under 8s through to senior women.
He said it had adopted and embraced PlayHQ and all of its functions and used Live Scoring on 91 per cent of its games.
“We have strong governance with delivery of cricket to the local market and engage with local communities to promote cricket and increase registrations,” he said.
“We have strong media presence through local media outlets and online channels and continual growth of participation numbers.”
Chairman Garry Burkinshaw said it was “incredible” for CCCA to be recognised by Cricket NSW as the Association of the Year.
“The award represents the tireless work of the clubs as well as the executive over not just this year but many years,” he said.
Along with all other state winners, CCCA has been nominated for the Cricket Australia Community Cricket Awards, to be announced during the third week of May.
