Flags
A flag in our first GDCA season, and another for the Thirds last summer.
Hosting Wallan in the two day grand final, Broadford chased 226 with six overs to spare. Braden Hickey took six wickets, James Ingham made 85 and veteran Ash Wood finished it off with 40 not out, hitting the winning four. The flag earned promotion to the McIntyre Cup.
After a slow start the Thirds built a dominant run to finals, beating Malmsbury Gold by nine wickets in the semi and Malmsbury Green in the grand final. Aaron Culpin made 52 not out and took 4/36 in the decider.
Last summer
Juniors came through every senior side, the Thirds won the flag and the women's team won four games in its first year.
Beat Macedon by 112 runs in round 5, when Macedon were undefeated and top of the ladder.
Wins over Wallan and Sunbury United, with 34 players used across the season.
Premiers. Beat Malmsbury Gold in the semi by nine wickets and Malmsbury Green in the grand final by 62 runs.
The first ever win came against East Sunbury in round 8. The aim was one win; they finished with four and a semi final.
A maiden 1st XI century against Rupertswood, a calm innings that set up the win.

Women's cricket
Fielding our first ever women's team was an achievement in itself, and the girls went from giving cricket a go to winning four games and playing in a semi final. The team is back in the Women's B Grade for 2026/27, and new players are welcome, whether you've played before or not.

Our story
Broadford fielded senior and junior teams in the Seymour District Cricket Association from its start in the early 1960s.
A $100,000 state grant upgraded the four net training facility. Two of the nets are open to the public at all times, so anyone can come down for a hit with their kids.
The club moved to the Gisborne District Cricket Association to give its juniors a stronger competition, then won the Johnstone Shield in its first season.
Four wins, a semi final, and a 3rd XI premiership in the same summer.
A young senior group with juniors coming through every grade, and the women's team back for a second season.
