Season Recap & Exciting Changes for the Year Ahead!

Last season may have brought its challenges, but it also paved the way for fresh opportunities. Our First Team faced tough competition in the NWCL Premiership, finishing in 11th place and subsequently moving to the NWCL Championship. While results in the league didn’t go our way, we showed real consistency in cup competitions, making an impressive run to the Hamer Cup semi-finals. Though we fell short against Little Lever CC, who themselves were beaten in the final by Championship side Read CC.

A new division brings new opportunities, including fresh opposition and new grounds for both players and spectators to experience. And we’re already making moves to build for the season ahead! We are absolutely thrilled to announce the return of Syd De Silva as our new First Team Captain. Syd is no stranger to the club, and we can’t wait to see his leadership and experience take the team forward.

Our Second Team also had a challenging season, experiencing an unexpected relegation after finishing 3rd the previous year. However, just like the First Team, we found success in the cup, reaching the Quarter Finals before bowing out to Cherry Tree CC.

Among the season’s standout moments was Ismael Patel’s incredible maiden century for the First Team, accompanied by a stellar bowling performance of 4-45—a true all-round display!

Off the field, the arrival of professional Alex Kok had a tremendous impact on our junior players, always showing up on Friday nights (often wrapped up in a coat and hat!). Meanwhile, Ulli Bronkhorst returned as our Amateur Overseas for a second consecutive season, once again proving to be a huge asset, particularly as he hit peak form towards the latter part of the season.

As we gear up for the new season, we’re excited to get back to training. Senior training will be held every Wednesday evening from 18:00 onwards when the season starts.

Are you ready? We certainly are!🏏
