We have teams ranging from U8s right the way up to the U19, with players of all standards accommodated within the coaching structure. Many fine cricketers have progressed through the Club as a colt into senior cricket and many of the coaches have themselves been colts at the Club.
The 2015 season proved to be a highly successful year with an increase in numbers by around 20%, our Under 12s and Under 16s won their respective league competitions, and our Under 17s the cup. Pride of place went to our Under 15s who reached National Finals Day, having on the way won County and Regional cups. We eventually finished 3rd in the country, out of an original entry of over 1600 clubs.
If you would like to join the Club, please get in touch with Peter Edwards who will be more than happy to invite you down to the Club.
