SDCA clubs appoint new President for the year ahead

August 8, 2025

The Seymour District Cricket Association (SDCA) has a new President following its Annual General Meeting. Mitch Itter will take the reins from Ben Trezise, who is standing down after several years in the role.


Itter comes to the position with extensive experience in local cricket, having previously served as Junior Development Officer of the SDCA for two seasons, Secretary of the Tallarook Cricket Club for four seasons, and a five-time A Grade premiership player at Tallarook.


Outside of cricket, Itter runs a communications business and has professional experience in education, politics, marketing, communications, and corporate affairs. He will be looking to use these skills to reinvigorate the SDCA.


Itter paid tribute to Ben Trezise for his dedication to local cricket across his time as President.


“We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Ben Trezise for his service as SDCA President for eight years, in what has often been a thankless task,” Mr Itter said.


“Ben has always had the best interests of local cricket at heart, and his contribution is appreciated by clubs across the SDCA.”


The sustainability of junior cricket will be a key priority for Itter over the next 12 months.


“We’ve seen some really positive growth in junior cricket across the region over the past few years, and I’m eager to keep this momentum going,” Mr Itter said.


“Our clubs have put in plenty of work to support our future stars, and we want to provide a viable and sustainable senior competition for them to transition into.


“I’ve got some big ideas about the future of our league and local cricket, which I’m keen to explore with our clubs.


“We’ll be taking on much more of a commercial mindset and looking at new avenues to promote the competition to new audiences.



“I’m looking forward to working closely with all SDCA clubs and nutting out new ways to grow our competition.”

Senior representative cricket returns for the SDCA

October 10, 2025
Senior representative cricket is back on the Seymour District Cricket Association (SDCA) calendar for the first time in six years, with the region’s top players set to take on the Emu Valley Cricket Association at Chittick Park in Seymour on Sunday 8 February. The fixture forms part of a trial being undertaken by Northern Rivers Cricket, with all member associations playing senior representative matches throughout the 2025–26 season. The initiative is designed to strengthen regional competition, with the potential for expansion in future seasons. While the SDCA has consistently fielded junior representative teams in Country Week competitions, the return of a senior side marks a welcome boost for local players eager to compete at a higher level. SDCA President Mitch Itter said there was strong enthusiasm across the association for the return of senior representative cricket. “There’s been a real buzz from clubs and players about the opportunity to represent the SDCA again,” he said. “We’ve got so much talent across our competition, and players are eager to challenge themselves and show what they can do. "We’re confident of putting a strong side on the park in February, knowing Emu Valley will be doing the same. "This is a really positive step from Northern Rivers and works far better for our players than the traditional Melbourne Country Week format. "We’re looking forward to seeing how this concept develops and can’t wait for February 8.” The SDCA is also seeking expressions of interest for a Coach, Team Manager and Scorer for the representative fixture.
