Congratulations to the Ashfield Cricket Club on celebrating its remarkable 50th anniversary in 2024. Since its founding in 1974, Ashfield Cricket Club has been a pillar of grassroots sport in the inner west. The 50th anniversary celebration brought together past and present players, families, and volunteers to honour the many people who've kept the club strong—from junior coaches and team managers, to the tireless committee members and parents who set up fields, scored matches, and ran BBQs. Ashfield Cricket Club has not only nurtured countless junior and senior cricketers—it has also been a champion for inclusion, growing girls' cricket in the inner west and making the game accessible for all. Thanks to current President Adam Hudson, all the executive and the many volunteers, players, coaches and parents who contributed their time and energy over the years to make this Club the success that it is. Clubs like Ashfield Cricket Club remind us why community sport matters. Congratulations on 50 years of fair play, fun, and friendship—and here's to many more innings to come.
