While they're normally busy delivering balls on the field, the junior side enjoyed a delivery of a different kind.
The young cricketers were out and about to support the club as they announced a new sponsorship with Oporto.
Present at the sponsorship announcement were Bowral Cricket Club director of junior cricket Jodi Cooper and director of senior cricket Connor Murray.
Also in attendance at the announcement were Mittagong Oporto's store owner Praneeta Lanka and business consultant Maria Schifilliti.
Mr Murray took the opportunity to thank everyone for attending the event and Oporto for its sponsorship.
"It's a really good partnership between Bowral Cricket Club and Oporto," he said.
"It's a four year sponsorship agreement and they have now become one of the clubs major sponsors.
"From this sponsorship the junior side has brand new playing shirts, which look fantastic.
"It's about giving back to the kids."
Oporto's business consultant Maria Schifitilli also thanked everyone for their attendance as she welcomed Bowral Cricket Club to the Oporto family.
"At Oporto, it's all about family and the community coming together," she said.
"I want to welcome you as a family and the way we bring everyone together is by food.
"[We] look forward to the next four years together."
As soon as Maria had spoken, the staff at Mittagong Oporto brought out freshly cooked nuggets, chips and chicken bites for the kids and parents to enjoy.
Ms Cooper also thanked parents and volunteers for their attendance.
"I want to say thank you to the junior [cricket] coaches, parents and club volunteers," she said. "Without you, we wouldn't have a club."
