100 Years of Cricket ACT

Podcast

Glory Days host Robbie Mackinlay, ACT Statistician Adam Morehouse and many others from ACT's cricketing community have worked together to create the six-episode Cricket ACT Centenary Podcast. One episode will be released each month throughout the cricket season (October 2022–March 2023).

You can listen to Glory Days on Your Sport and Media or wherever you get your podcasts.

Cricket ACT acknowledges the Traditional Custodians and ancestors of the land we live and meet on, the Ngunnawal people. Cricket ACT acknowledges that other people and families also have a traditional connection to the lands of the ACT and region and we respect this connection to country. We honour and pay respect to the Elders in our local communities, both past and present.

We celebrate the participation of First Nations peoples, families and communities, and recognise their individual and collective shared connection and history with cricket. We are committed to listening and learning about how we as people, an organisation and community advocate for equitable outcomes and positive futures with all First Nations peoples.
