We are expecting to be able to run a full programme of training and matches this season, aligning at each stage to Government and ECB guidelines. The social aspects of cricket maybe restricted early season, but we plan to have the pavilion and facilities all back in operation, as soon as guidelines allow.

Led by our new Director of Cricket, Rob Carter, we have an energised coaching team, bringing in experienced coaches to improve the development experience. These coaches will be supporting the Team Managers to ensure all juniors get the opportunity to develop their cricket skills in a fun and safe environment.

Please see some key information below but do not hesitate to contact me or any of the Team Managers if you need any further information.

Age group programmes - training starts for age groups from 11th April, ECB programmes start 16th May.
