Dear All,

With Xmas out of the way it will not be too long before the start of the cricket season!

A few updates:

1. TRAINING for 3rd and 4th team has started and runs every Monday from 8.30 until 10 o clock at Dr Challoners until 11th February.

2. TRAINING for 1sts through to 4ths is also at Dr Challoners from Monday 25th February to Monday 1st April also at 8.30 until 10 o clock. Do try and get some winter training in so that your first cricket is not the first league game of the season!

3. The 1st team fixtures are on the website and the rest will be on soon. It is very important we start the season with proper sides out and do well in the early season win/lose format. To that end captains and myself will be checking availability early and please do try and both let us know and then stick to promised availability.

4. Early signs suggest we will have more players regularly available which is good news so the aim is to see all 4 sides challenging at the top of their respective leagues but to do this we do need proper sides out ALL summer.

5. Summer training will be split. A Wednesday evening from 6pm to 8pm will be 1st and 2nd team squad players by invitation, whilst Tuesday evenings at the same time will be open to all 3rd and 4th team players. We are getting coaches to attend each night to ensure high quality sessions so please do try and attend.

6. There will be a players get together evening just before the start of the season and an awards night the Saturday night after the last weekend of the season. Also hoping to again lay on Saturday evening food for players and spectators.

Winter will.

Paul
