National Pharmacy Cricket Carnivals 2010, 2011, 2012 & 2013

For the first time Western Australia won the final in Perth in January 2010 in a very close match v Victoria to become the National Champions for 2009 – 2010. The Carnival was played in glorious sunny days with the teams playing at great grounds. The 'Welcome' BBQ was held at the team's hotel overlooking the sunset across the ocean. The Trophy presentation Saturday night dinner with former WA and Test player John Inverarity as guest speaker was at the Claremont Yacht Club.

The Carnival moved to Shepparton for 2011 and the games were played at the Mooroopna Cricket Club nearby over the Goulburn River. The players enjoyed outstanding hospitality and generosity from the club members with two great grounds and warm sunny days. Great cricket from all the teams with South Australia winning the final v Victoria in a tight and keenly contested match. South Australia for the first time became the National Pharmacy Cricket Champions for 2010 - 2011

Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast Queensland was the venue for the 2012 Carnival. Constant rain made the playing of the usual games impossible. The teams resorted to indoor cricket. The 'Welcome' BBQ and the final night dinner were held as usual. Canberra the National Capital will be the venue for the 2013 Carnival with the games to be played at the grounds of Canberra Grammar & Kingston Oval. Accommodation will be at Rydges Capital Hill.
