The junior section has seen significant growth over the past two seasons. Mark invites young players to try cricket, ensuring they get the guidance and support needed to develop their skills and passion for the game.
The ladies' section is thriving with over 50 active members, participating in both recreational and league cricket. It's a fun and engaging atmosphere, providing an opportunity for women to connect, improve their skills, and enjoy the sport.
