Youth Cricket (Sponsored by Whitley Stimpson)
Our final U11 indoor session takes place this Friday 31st March, with our final U13/U15 session on Sunday 2nd April.
Youth registration has now been open for some time and we have been thrilled with the uptake and excitement for cricket in 2023, after the success last year! We now only have limited spaces in our U15 & U19 groups and would be delighted to welcome new members to the club. Find out more here
Reminder, all subscriptions must be paid before any training or pre-season games.
Please keep an eye on Spond for group posts with any further updates for each age group.
Our ever popular Friday night training begins on the 28th April (All-Stars a week later); we look forward to seeing you all up there - bar & BBQ open as always! Check out some of our 2022 highlights, here!
We are however always looking for more volunteers, so if you feel that you could help the team in any capacity, please contact Cat Miller!
Ground - #GetSetWeekend
We are extremely lucky to have two grounds of such a high standard, however we need your support to get them ready for the season! Please spare an hour or two on the below dates, bring a paintbrush and broom, and help to get your grounds ready:
- White Post Road - Sunday 2nd April from 9:00am
- Ermont Way - Friday 7th April (Good Friday) from 9:00am
We all know that cricket would simply not happen if it were not for the support of its officials - umpires & scorers. We are fortunate to have a small group of current representatives, however to continue to fill our requirements each weekend, we are in need of more!
If you, or someone you know, would be keen to support us on a number of weekends as either an umpire or a scorer, please reply to this email. All umpires and scorers receive expenses and full support / training where required.
