Castleknock Cricket Club

Hello everyone and welcome back to a new year of cricket at Castleknock cricket club for the 2019 season.

If anyone is interested in joining us for the season to play then let us know through this post or message us and we will get back to you with what you need to do!

Please let us know ASAP so that you are registered in time for the season! Players can be of any level from beginner to a regular.

Castleknock Cricket Club is also looking for members to join the main committee to help run the club for the foreseeable future. It would be great to have more people involved and have a say in how to progress with the future of the club with new ground and facilities on the way. It will also look good on CV's for students who wish to join and help.

Hi all as the season comes to an end this weekend I would just like to say thanks to all the members and their hard work both on and off the field. We hope that you will join us again next year for another great summer of cricket. Hopefully we have our new ground available next year!

If anyone has any friends or family who are looking to join and play cricket at any level of ability please contact us.

Kids Summer Camp 2018.

Castleknock Cricket Club successfully ran their annual summer camp at St Vincent’s Castleknock College.

There were kids of all ages there to enjoy the fun of cricket.

Cricket, Cricket, and more Cricket.

The highlights of the week included indoor nets where the kids tested their own ability with the use of the “Bola Junior” bowling machine supervised by Coach Brad from New Zealand.

Other indoor games included Cricket Tennis (improves catching) which was a big hit with the younger age of the group.

Cricket Hockey was really so much fun where the whole group was involved trying to score using their cricket bats like hockey sticks it proved to be a popular game with the group.

The outdoor crease got plenty of use during the week with games including Lords Game, hard and softball cricket and the opportunity to use helmets pads gloves etc.

Everybody looked forward to the “drinks break” as Willie Barr made sure there was fruit, snacks, bars, and drinks to suit all tastes and enjoyed by all.

Special thanks to the parents who were on hand to help out during the week and it goes without saying thank you to St Vincent’s Castleknock College for the use of the facilities.

We look forward to the next Kids Cricket Camp where we will advertise on our page.

Plenty of spaces still available, second child goes free.
