About The Eagles
The “Eagles” are one of Darwin district cricket’s leading clubs and are located at the picturesque Kahlin Oval, overlooking Cullen Bay Marina and surrounded by beautiful waters. Cricket in Darwin is played between April and September (The dry) each year, with excellent facilities and perfect sunny weather. We field 5 senior teams & 5 junior teams and offer turf playing as well as the best synthetic practice facilities in the Northern Territory. Our club is also the premier touring club in Darwin.
The Eagles take great pride in producing silverware, going back to back in 2011 and 2012 to be One Day Premiers along with the recent grand final victories in B and D grade in 2013. Our winning culture is instilled at a young age with our U17 competing in the last five grand finals.
We cater for all levels of cricket, from beginners with Woolworths Blast held on a Friday evening during the first half of the season, juniors teams from U11's through to U17's and senior men's teams in all five grades. Premier to D grade is played on the Saturday while the Sunday 1's and 2s side play on... Sunday. Leaning more to the social side and players past their prime.
The season begins in earlier to mid April and runs to mid September. For training start times, preseason usually begins in mid Feb to early March with days and times varying and when the season is about to commence training times are from 5pm to 7pm on a Tuesday and Thursday for Seniors. Junior training times are confirmed closer to the season start date and sign on days.
The Eagles are also strong socially with at least two social functions held during the regular season. A favourite being the annual Quiz Night held on a full moon in front of the Pavilion, the ever popular Cocktail night where our players bring their partners along for a night of socialising and dancing. We also hold regular fundraising events such as the Annual Pink Stumps Day and the BBQ stand at Bunnings .
