What a fantastic Walking Cricket Festival on Tuesday.

It was brilliant to see so many people coming together, enjoying the game, and creating such a great atmosphere. Our walking cricket festivals show what Walking Cricket is all about; fun, inclusion, and community.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers at Wombats CC and at our Taunton Walking Cricket hubs 🙌
You made the festival possible and we appreciate all of your support.

SCF Junior Coaching Roadshow Round Up!

This summer marked the first year of our SCF Junior Coaching Roadshows! Our brilliant community coaches visited cricket clubs around the county to coach their junior softball & hardball players.

The Roadshows saw our team visit each club for a full day, delivering age and skill appropriate sessions for children aged 4 all the way up to 16.

A huge thank you goes to the clubs we partnered with and who hosted us so well! It was a pleasure to work with club coaches, providing an additional positive experience for their players.

On Tuesday at the Somerset v Lancashire One-Day game, we were delighted to welcome two special groups to the Cooper Associates County Ground.

Blossom in Somerset joined us in the morning to volunteer, helping welcome supporters by handing out autograph clappers. Their enthusiasm was brilliant and they soon handed out every single one! They were also lucky enough to meet Somerset legend Jack Leach

In the afternoon, Walking Cricketers from across Somerset took to the outfield during the lunch break to showcase Walking Cricket and demonstrate that cricket is a game for everyone.

A huge thank you to everyone from Blossom in Somerset and all the Walking Cricket Hubs, coaches, volunteers and players who helped make it such a fantastic day.
