Congratulations Matilda

After representing South East Bayside in January we wholeheartedly congratulate Matilda Lloyd on her selection to the Cricket Victoria Emerging Players Program. Matilda will commence training in August with the Under 16 Female Squad and will represent the state at the National Championships held in Canberra in January. Amazing effort Matilda, well done.  

We are also proud to say that Tilly is an emerging talent in our 2021 Exchange team, in this her first year. We are confident that Matilda will be be a squad member for years to come.

Cricket Victoria has confirmed its squad for the under 16 Female Emerging Players Program.

The players will be split into Vic Metro and Vic Country squads and commence training in August.

Sessions will be based at the Citi Power Centre, the MCG and regional areas, with Cricket Victoria’s High Performance coaching staff leading the program with support from current players.

The emerging players will receive expert guidance on skill acquisition and refinement, strength and conditioning, as well as nutrition.

The program culminates with Vic Metro and Vic Country squads representing the state at the National Championships in Canberra in January.

“This is the first step in our female emerging players program and a key landmark for the talented young players coming through,” Cricket Victoria’s Head of the Female Emerging Players Program Duncan Harrison said.

“They’ll get their first taste of training in a high-performance environment and learning from players already playing at a professional level.

“The opportunity to then represent the state at a National Championships offers a great reward for their hard work and based on the talent in these squads we’re expecting competition for spots to be fierce.”
