Women’s cricket
Women’s cricketers in the Victorian Turf and North West Metropolitan cricket associations were left on the side lines. Both competitions were meant to be in action on Sunday, but heavy rain overnight meant grounds were left waterlogged and there was no choice but to call off matches. Some sides, including Williamstown CYMS and Altona Roosters are yet to play at all this VTCA season, while two rounds of the NWMCA have been played.
