Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown—Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault)—Cardiff Boolaroo District Cricket Club is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year, and I want to take this opportunity to recognise this milestone and the club's history. Cardiff Boolaroo debuted in the hot summer days of 1949-1950. By 1955-56, the club had grown to the point where they featured in a final—and though they missed out in a photo-finish three-run loss against six-time final winners Hamilton, the club had arrived. Today, the club boasts 160 members and extensive groups of club supporters and volunteers, fielding a number of teams including mens, womens, Junior U16 and U21, and a masters/vets side. The club prides itself on the type of cricket they play and the way they comport themselves on the field, as well as their community-based, inclusive ethos and their strong connections with the junior club, Lake Macquarie Junior Cricket Club. Congratulations to the Cardiff Boolaroo on seventy-five years of cricket and community, and here's to many more years to come.
