Grand Final - 1st XI vs Wembley Districts
Following the abandonment of play on Saturday due to inclement weather, the match was changed as a 40-over One Day fixture on Sunday.
Heading into the day, the 1st XI were quietly confident after a strong season in the One Day format, highlighted by their recent Grand Final success.
After losing the toss, Balcatta was sent in to bat. The innings began steadily, reaching 3/102, with valuable contributions from Heshan Perera (47) and Alex Galipo (24). However, a middle-order collapse saw the side slip to 7/133. Joel Handford (46) provided crucial resistance in the lower order, guiding the team to a total of 185.
With the ball, the 1st XI made an immediate impact, reducing Wembley Districts to 3/28. From there, consistent pressure and regular wickets prevented any meaningful partnerships from developing. It was an outstanding all-round bowling performance, led by Captain Jerra Smith (4/19) and well supported by Hassan Khadim (2/19). Wembley Districts were eventually dismissed for 141.
The victory secures a remarkable double for the 1st XI, claiming both the One Day and Overall Season Grand Finals. Jerra Smith was deservedly named Man of the Match.
A fantastic achievement for the club—congratulations to the entire 1st XI squad.
Time to celebrate. Go Cats!

It is with great sadness that we share the news Jenny Bridger passed away earlier this week.
Jenny was a Life Member of Balcatta Cricket Club and one of the club’s original committee members.
She played a significant role in the early years of the club, particularly through her involvement with our junior program. Jenny also served as Club Secretary for many years and spent countless hours scoring matches and supporting teams. Our Club would not be what it is today without her.
For many players and families, Jenny was the first person they met when joining the club, always welcoming everyone with warmth and kindness.
Jenny was a truly beautiful and caring person who made a lasting contribution to our club and community. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Our thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with Jenny’s family and loved ones at this difficult time. 💙

1st Grade One Day Grand Final – 1st XI vs Murdoch University Melville
In a thrilling Sunday showdown, our 1st XI claimed the 1st Grade One Day Grand Final with a hard-fought victory over Murdoch University Melville at Jones Paskin Reserve.
Bowling first, the 1st XI made an immediate impact, reducing the visitors to 4/30. Despite a pair of middle-order partnerships that lifted Murdoch University Melville to a competitive 174, our bowlers maintained strong control throughout the innings. Hassan Khadim (3/18), Heshan Perera (3/25), Adam Copley (2/23), and Jerra Smith (2/39) were outstanding in restricting the total.
In reply, the innings began with early setbacks before Heshan Perera (53) and Ricardo de Nobrega (50) steadied the chase with a composed partnership. Kyle Cosson’s valuable 42 further strengthened the position. However, a sudden middle-order collapse saw the 1st XI slip to 8/164, still requiring 10 runs for victory.
With composure and leadership, Captain Jerra Smith stepped up to seal the result in style, striking a six to secure the win.
Congratulations to the 1st XI on an outstanding team performance and a well-deserved victory!
Best Player in the Final awarded by the Umpires: Heshan Perera
