Castle Hill Cricket
Club – news from the boundary
Squelch, squelch, squelch go the wellington boots as they
plod around the outfield of the pitch – what with the horrible weather and the
rather disastrous ashes tour down under, it hard to imagine the Cricket season
is less than 3 months away – BUT IT IS! – hurray!
Soon our ground will be a hive of activity for the start of
a new season – welcome to our cricket club located on Crook Rd, Brenchley, TN12
7BW.
Looking back, 2013 was another successful year from the
club:-
- Our senior side, playing friendlies against
village and touring sides from across the South East, won more games than it lost
(again!)
- Youth
cricket has continued to thrive at the club with teams playing at U15, U13,
U11. Add to this our nursery cricket that runs for ages 7 to 9 (those with
seemingly boundless energy reserves!) on a Saturday morning and we can offer
cricket truly from 7 through to over 70
- Our nets and surrounding running areas were
refurbished and are ready for their first full season of use
- We now have
an updated website that our PR Department (!?!?) are currently starting to
build
This means 2014 is going to be another busy season and plans
are underway to make this as successful as possible.
As clubs like ours grow, there is always room for others to
get involved, so whether its helping in our youth section coaching sessions,
helping to pour the squash for thirsty young cricketers through to popping up
for a beer and watching a game, you’ll always be welcome. Please contact our
youth section chairman, Andrew Blamey or club Chairman, Robert
Akenhead (details on the contact page - click the link above) to chat about how you can help.
Likewise, if there are any experienced players out there
that are fancying playing a decent standard of cricket in a very friendly
environment, we’d be pleased to hear from you – feel free to give our skipper
Mike Iles an email
mike@madpoplars.com to have a chat and find out more.
