The weather's certainly warming up and it's cricket season!

The Parkes District Junior Cricket competition, with teams from Forbes and Condobolin across ages from Under 12s to 17s, is under way and so is the local men's competition.

Our photographer headed over to Parkes Bowling and Sports Club Friday to capture the action in Week one of junior Woolworths Cricket Blast.

A group of young aspiring cricketers were coached by local talented cricketers, Zac Guy and Zac Bayliss.

The Blasters is a program for kids aged 10 and under to learn cricket skills through fun, modified game-based activities.

Kids attend a jam-packed weekly 60-90 minute session which is designed to engage and empower kids of all skill levels and abilities, unleashing their potential.
