The Goolwa Cricket Club (the Magpies) plays in the Great Southern Cricket Association a relatively strong country Association just south (within an hour’s travel approx. 80 km) from the state capital Adelaide. It is a hard wicket competition with 3 teams in the Association having a turf pitch. The Association is made up of 12 -14 teams from the surrounding areas. The first recorded cricket match in Goolwa was in 1859 and we have been a foundation Club since then in the original Encounter Bay Cricket Association and then the Great Southern Cricket Association established in 1921-22.

Our Club is in one of its more successful eras. We have played in 9 of the last 10 years’ finals series finishing runner up in the A Grade competition 4 times. We won the T20 Association competition in 2015-16, whilst the B2 team won the premiership in that year and our C2 team won a premiership in 2020-21. We are an accredited GOLD level Good Sports Club and have a dedicated administration that runs the Club professionally. You will find our Club to be a welcoming, supportive and inclusive Club that has an active off field social atmosphere and an on field passion to above all enjoy playing cricket.
