The Great Barrier Reef Rays would like to congratulate Noah McFadyen on making his debut for South Australia! 👏🔴

A fantastic achievement and a reward for the enormous amount of hard work Noah has put into his cricket.

We’ve been incredibly proud to have Noah as part of the GBR Rays journey across our first few seasons including as our captain, and it has been great to see him continue to develop and take his game to the next level.

Congratulations Noah — a very well-deserved opportunity and an exciting milestone in your cricket career.

Great work, mate! 🏏🔥

🏏 That’s a wrap on the 2026 GBR Rays junior campaign!

Three action-packed days of cricket, with plenty of great performances, memorable moments and valuable experiences across all six of our junior sides.

More than just cricket, it was fantastic to see players from across the state come together, build new friendships and enjoy the Rays experience. Our players also had the opportunity to visit Allan Border Field and watch the Queensland Bulls take on New South Wales. 📸

A huge thank you to our players, coaches, families and supporters for their commitment throughout the campaign. We’re incredibly proud of the way everyone represented the GBR Rays. 💚💛

🏏 Two days down, one to go for our GBR Rays junior teams!

Plenty of strong individual performances, valuable experience and some great cricket across the opening two days of competition.

Proud of the way our players have represented the Rays so far, with one more big day ahead! 💚💛

🟢 ELITE XI | TOURNAMENT UPDATE 🟢

Not the result we were hoping for in Game 4, with the GBR Rays Elite XI going down to the Western Chargers in a tight contest.

The Rays were dismissed for 107 in 16.4 overs, before the Chargers reached 6/109 in 16 overs to claim the win.

🏏 Raveesh Srivastava — 27 from 19 balls
🎯 Steve McGiffin — 3/11 from 4 overs

Unfortunately, the result means the Rays will miss out on a place in the Grand Final.

There is still one more game to play, and the focus now shifts to finishing the tournament the right way — with pride, energy and a strong team performance.

One more opportunity to represent the Rays.
One more chance to finish on a high. 💚🖤

🟢 IMPROVEMENT SHOWN — NOW FOR THE SEMI FINAL 🟢

A much-improved performance from the GBR Rays Next XI this afternoon against the Western Chargers, with the young Rays showing plenty of fight ahead of tomorrow’s semi final. 💚🖤

The Chargers posted 5/191 from 20 overs, before the Rays responded with 9/141, with some encouraging individual performances along the way.

🏏 Etienne Pretorius — 45 from 27 balls
🎯 Connor Muller — 2/15 from 3 overs

The result may not have gone our way, but the signs were much better and the boys now have another opportunity tomorrow.

The Next XI head into the semi final as the underdogs — but finals cricket is a different game.

Can the GBR Rays cause an upset and book a place in the Grand Final? 👀🔥

One game. One opportunity. Let’s go Rays! 💚🖤
