'Although the weather outside may be frightful, to cricketers, the thought of the summer ahead is delightful. Especially at this time of year!
Having made all our necessary pitch renovations, the grass has grown well and looking very healthy in readiness for plenty of action from May onwards.
In the meantime, other preparations are being made behind the scenes. The club will be starting indoor nets at the end of January for both seniors and juniors to which all newcomers will be made most welcome. We are also looking walking version, played indoors or out, whereby those who are past their prime in the running department can still enjoy the fun and friendship that playing sport provides.

Yes, along with many other team sports, there is now a to restart our ladies section.
