The cricket returns with a bang when the Camden Campbelltown Ghosts kick off the 2015-16 season this weekend with a dizzying schedule that includes four first grade matches at their Raby headquarters.
The Ghosts men’s firsts will take on Eastern Suburbs on Saturday in a limited overs clash.
On the Sunday, the Ghosts first grade women’s team will host Northern Districts, also in a limited overs clash.
The first grade men will back up twice on Sunday in round one and two of the T/20 competition, taking on neighbouring Fairfield Liverpool Lions and Western Suburbs Magpies.
But a few days before the onfield action gets under way, the Ghosts will launch their season at Raby this Wednesday evening, September 23.
Secretary Jason Ellsmore says that for the first time the season launch will combine both male and female divisions of the Ghosts, who last season celebrated their 30th anniversary.
