The club will again field four senior sides, along with an under-16 side, an under-14 side and up to three under-12 sides.
There is also the possibility of a second under-14 side for players born in 2009-2011 if there is enough interest.
Those interested are encouraged to contact coach Darren Skelton on 0417 368 805.
There is also an Over-60s side, which plays on Sundays throughout the season.
The big news from the club is that it has appointed an overseas player as the coach for the coming season.
Priyank Sunny Chohan is from Toronto, Canada and is due to arrive before the first game on October 7.
Sunny Chohan is a 35-year-old top-order batsman, right-hand spinner and an exceptional fielder.
He has represented his province, Ontario, numerous times.
Sunny Chohan has been a strength and conditioning coach for the Canadian women’s team, the Canadian under-19s, and, more recently, the Montreal Tigers, who won the ICC-approved Canadian T20 competition.
The Montreal Tigers boasted Australian player Chris Lynn and West Indian Andre Russell.
As well as giving the playing ranks a much-needed lift, the club thinks he will bring a more professional attitude to the club, emphasising fielding and fitness.
The club thinks the younger players, including the under 16s and 14s, will benefit significantly.
