The Bendigo and District Cricket Association (BDCA) is the controlling body for ten combined senior and junior cricket clubs within the Bendigo region of Victoria, Australia. Grades range from under 11s, under 12s, under 14s, under 16s, under 18s, 4ths, C, B and A grades. Games are played from October through to February with finals played in March. Recent seasons have been plagued by the drought. A dramatic turnaround has been seen during the 2010–2011 season however, as unprecedented rainfall in the local area has forced the abandonment of approximately half of the scheduled home and away matches.
