🏏🎊Coach John appreciation post

How amazing is this gift John was given by one of our parents this week. We love it so wanted to share for everyone to see.

John does so much with our juniors, his latest being his 3 day cricket summer camp, the kids absolutely loved it again and it brings vital funds in to the club. Thanks again for all you do John. 🎊

🏏Our Academy team finished off their season in style last Sunday, registering our third league win of the season against Boldon CC.🏏

We finished the season in 13th place in Division 4. During the season, a number of our juniors have been given an introduction to senior cricket with the Academy team.

Thanks to Lewis Pye, Rob McAvoy, Colin Stevens, Liam & all our players for their hard work and dedication over the 2026 season.👏

We look forward to 2027, with a new captain to be announced, after Lewis Pye stepped down from his position due to his baby on the way.

Winter well everyone 🏏
