Hornsby Ku-ring-gai & Hills District Cricket Association (HKHDCA) in 1996/97 introduced for the first time a separate Girl’s Competition and KPCC entered two teams, one U/12 and one O/12 (Over 12)
In 2001/02 due to falling numbers, the HKHDCA competition was ended and our teams moved to the NSJCA entering U13 and U16 teams. This continued until 2007/08 season when falling numbers again meant the club could not enter teams.
Girls continued to play cricket in our Junior Mixed competition, played in the HKHDCA association.

2018-present
In season 2018/19 and with support from Cricket NSW, we started a Girls Only Master Blasters program for ages 5 and up which ran at Auluba Oval throughout summer in the evening.
In season 20/21, with players from that program, we were able to enter a Stage 2 team (approx U13) in the NSJCA competition after a 13 year break.
In season 21/22 we continued with our Girls Only Master Blaster program, a Stage 1 and a Stage 2 team.
In season 22/23, our Stage 1 teams (Junior/U11 and Senior/U13) played in the NSJCA competition. The Girls Master Blaster program was again running on Thursday evenings at Auluba Oval.
Our Senior Stage 1 team placed 6th in the competition and won the Cup Division (5th-8th place) Grand Final.
In season 23/24, HKHDCA introduced a Friday evening carnival-like cricket program for girls in the Stage 1 age group. Our Stage 1 team had a massive amount of fun playing cricket under lights. The Stage 1 Senior team from the previous season entered the Stage 2 U15 NSJCA competition and placed 8th, again winning the Cup Division Grand Final.
Cricket NSW started an All Girls Cricket Blast program for 5-10 year old girls, running on Thursday evenings at Auluba Oval, while the older girls train.
