Great effort by the blue boys who looked out of the game a couple of times but they just kept hanging in to give themselves a chance. The boys have played 14 T20 games since November and lost 1 so to win the carnival on the last ball is a brilliant gutsy effort.
🔵 200 Not out for Gulbis 🔵
Huge milestone this weekend with the clubs Captain/ coach Evan Gulbis playing his 200th premier game.
Congratulations Evan, an incredible achievement and a champion blue! 💙

Congratulations to Mackenzie Harvey and Xavier Chrone on receiving full Cricket Victoria contracts. We are proud of the boys and wish them well in their endeavours to play First Class cricket. We are also excited to welcome Cameron Stevenson back after a 2 year stint in Tasmania.
Last night our President John Douglas announced that he was standing down. The service John has given Carlton in many different roles since starting playing as a teen has been tireless. The man known as pres, JD, John or Brownlow is loved by all. What a way to finish. Thanks JD
The whole Carlton CC family was delighted to wake up this morning and find out Kevin O’Neill had been awarded an OAM. If you speak to anyone who has been involved at Carlton CC since 1971 you will know how important Kevin is to Carlton. A quiet humble legend of Carlton CC.
This brilliant photo from the pres highlights what is great about sport.The smile on

after he and Andrew Poppa scored 66 off 43 balls to get the 3s across the line is what team sport is about.

1-12 overnight. Jai Lemire an outstanding 148no and along with Michael Archer 22 they set a new club record 10th wicket partnership of 126. The record breakers pictured below.
A brilliant day for the blues 1’s through to the Grand Final and a premiership in the 4’s. Commiserations to

A great reward for a great season. Well done to all the players & coaches from the 3rd XI for taking home the flag after an amazing game of cricket against Geelong.
Carlton CC members and supporters were saddened to hear of the passing of esteemed life member Craig Cook. Craig was a long term committee member and his 3 sons Callum, Lachlan & Stuart all represented the blues. Our thoughts are with Craig’s family at this sad time.
A brilliant finish to a historic season for the blues as the boys beat
@CaseySthMelbCC
in an epic grand final. Men’s 1st XI premiers, Women’s 1st XI runners up, 6 out of 7 sides in final and Super Slam champions. A great testament to all our players, coaches and off field staff.
Congratulations to the following players who have been selected in our first Dowling Shield team since the 2003/04 season. The standard of all players who trialled was fantastic and thanks to their clubs, coaches and parents for all the hard work they've done developing the boys
Congratulations to Harrison Smyth who will play his 100th 1st XI game this weekend. Harry has been a key part of the side in recent years.
He’s scored 2667 runs @ 36.04 with 4 x 100s and 16 x 50s. Fantastic player and a lot more to come!

Tom Smyth will play his 150th Premier 1st XI game for the Blues when we take on the Monash Tigers at Princes Park. Smyth has been a lynchpin of the Carlton side since his debut in 2009/10, scoring 3,644 runs (including 5 centuries) and taking 171 wickets.
Not the result we wanted today but a great experience nevertheless. Congratulations to
@MelbCC
a great team and great club who set a high benchmark for all clubs to aspire to. Our fine season wasn’t spoilt by today’s result and we look forward to next year with great enthusiasm.
Costly loss in the first game means the boys don’t get a chance to defend their title from last year. Winning 2 out of 3 games and being the 3rd best T20 side in the nation is still certainly a feather in the groups cap.
A great moment for Sophie Reid as she celebrates her maiden Premier 1st XI century. Blues 1/194 Nipuni Hansika 16no Cailin Green out for a well made 56.
Special moment before the start of play today as Cameron Stevenson was presented with his T20I Cap by fellow fast-bowler Rusty Theron

Congrats to

a fantastic club who were a deserving winner of the Men’s 1st XI title. A fantastic game and we were very proud of our players and coaches, our players left nothing in the shed but in the end the Dees were too good. We look forward to many great future battles
Like all in the cricket world we were shocked and saddened at Dean Jones passing.His achievements at Carlton CC,
@MCC_Members
,Victoria and Australia will see his legacy live. Carlton legend John Douglas shares some of Deano’s early times with the Blues. …
Brave effort by our boys today but congrats to
@DandenongCC
too good on the day. A great team bowling and fielding performance allowed us to hold Dandenong to 122. Blue Nick Ross’s 71 was brilliant in a game where no one else made over 25 but unfortunately we went down by 7 runs.
Members and friends of the Carlton Cricket Club send their condolences to highly respected former player Luke Money and his family on the passing of Luke's mother Paula.
Great recognition for some blues named in CV emerging player squads. Addy Campion, Maddi Albers and new blue Sophie Reid named in the female squad. Nick Ross, Eddy O’Sullivan and new blue Connor Rutland named in the male squad. Well done also to Kat Jomini who has moved to EMP.
Best of luck to our 2021/22 season male program Bowling coach and Chairman of Selectors
@guyskywaalker
who is moving overseas. A lot of last season's success would not have been possible without the crucial role played by Guy. We wish him every success in his move.
Blues get the job done in the Premier Women 1st XI chasing 144. Blues 0/145 Sophie Reid 69* Cailin Green 42*. That is their 3rd century opening partnership for the season along with another 4 over 50.
📰 We have today named a 14-player Emerging Performance Squad that will train at the CitiPower Centre in preparation for the 2020-21 season.

One of the highlights of the night was a fantastic speech by Keith Stackpole. It was great of Keith and his wife Pat to attend and our premiership journey was complete when Keith as Vice Captain of the 80/81 premiership side passed the baton on to our skipper Evan Gulbis.
Huge day for the blue boys this Saturday as we have our 1st XI flag unfurling at 9.30. Would be great to see past players, officials and parents there to share the experience with us. A game against our great rivals
@EssendonCC
will follow as we battle for the Paul Hibbert shield
Some big news at the blues next season. Carlton Brunswick Strikers will become a full part of the Carlton Cricket Club and will field Carlton’s first women’s teams.
Good luck and we look forward to having you represent Carlton Cricket Club 💙
The efforts by these lads during the year was simply outstanding both on and off field.

Great start to a huge weekend for the blues. 4 out of 4 against the tigers. All 4 sides making the finals a great result for the men’s program. Tomorrow we head to the Albert to support our 1st XI women’s team as they attempt to create history and win their first flag.

For the second year in a row we had a passing on of the baton in the 4s. After a great speech from last years premiership captain Sam Walker he passed the 4thXI baton on to this years 4thXI premiership captain Matt Vine. A great tradition.
Tonight’s T20 washout means the Blues win the T20 title.
@prahrancc
had scored a competitive 4/76 off 12 prior to the washout. Not the way we wanted to our first Women’s 1st XI title but a just reward for a great T20 season. Congrats to

Historic & exciting day for the club with our Female program coming fully under the Carlton banner for the first time. We are delighted to watch Premier cricket gun Sophie Reid represent the blues for the first time and 14 yo Sara Kennedy pictured below play her debut 1st XI game
WELCOME LUKE MONEY.
