| No Boundaries Cricket
The Officer Cricket Club in conjunction with the Cardinia Shire Council and Scope Leisure Action have developed the 'Officer Bullants' No Boundaries Cricket team.
'No Boundaries' cricket is a modified game of cricket that allows all people with a disability to compete in a fair and fun matter. The 'No Boundaries' cricket program is now played in six locations across Gippsland. After extensive promotion and marketing of the game and team in July–August 2004, the Officer Bullants was able to be formed and 11 players attended the first match in October 2004.
If you are interested in becoming involved in 'No Boundaries' cricket, please call Paul Holtschke from Leisure Action on 9894 8966 or Graham Tomkins from Officer Bullants on 5623 6444 for futher information.
