At the Manly Warringah Waratahs, our strength has always come from the community that stands behind us — players, supporters and partners alike. This season we’re excited to celebrate a partnership that blends outstanding loyalty with world-class hospitality. Kristie Crawford, one of the cornerstones of our Women’s cricket program, is proudly sponsored for the 2025/26 season by The Breakers — iconic beachfront holiday apartments on Australia’s stunning Gold Coast.
Kristie has been central to the development of our women’s teams since the beginning of our competitive journey. She sits among the top run-scorers in our Women’s history and brings invaluable experience, leadership and calmness on the field. Beyond her runs, Kristie plays a mentoring role within our squad, helping shape the next generation of Manly cricketers.
With our re-entry into Women’s 1st Grade four seasons ago, Kristie’s influence has only grown. As we chase success in the coming season’s, we know her drive and skill will be crucial to our campaign.
The Breakers’ sponsorship of Kristie reflects a shared belief in excellence. Located right on the sand between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, The Breakers Absolute Beachfront Apartments offer an unbeatable coastal experience — from breathtaking Pacific Ocean views to direct access to patrolled beaches and a short stroll to the Gold Coast’s best dining and entertainment.
This partnership highlights the important role sponsors play in supporting the club — enabling all our players to compete at their best while representing our Club with pride. We’re incredibly grateful to The Breakers for backing Kristie and being part of our women’s cricket journey this season.
Sponsorships like this connect local businesses with grassroots sport, and this is certainly the case with The Breakers. Although located well outside the Northern Beaches, they are a fantastic partner of ours and we could not be prouder of our association.
