Junior cricket…..we’re off and running The sun has arrived, the players are hard at training and an exciting season is underway. This year we are fielding 9 teams, 1 x Under 16s, 3 x Under 14s and 5 x Under 12s. Our stocks have never been better and our Coaches report that our skills, confidence and enthusiasm is sky high. Matches start on the weekend of October 10th and 11th. (Twilight matches on Friday 10th, Saturday matches on 11th). The teams are being finalised and we can see that the boys are bursting to go. Initial fixtures will be released by the CMCA on 8th October. A great deal of planning and hard work from voluntary assistance has already gone into getting the season up and running. We count very much on the voluntary input of parents to make the matches happen and already many have put their hands up for Team Management roles. But, Team Managers need scorers, umpires, player welfare assistants, kit controllers etc etc and we are hoping that everybody will step forward to make sure our sons have a memorable season. Remember, you do not need to know anything to be able to help in some way. I know the boys love to have your support at their matches….so do we. Here’s to a brilliant cricket season to each and everybody.
