The last couple of weeks have been a bit calmer at the club following the massive 175 celebration weekend. Again, we would like to thank all club members, past and present, who made it such a success.
On the field it is much of the same for the seniors – the 1s are flying high with a massive top of the table clash today (Sat 3rd Aug), the 2s continue to scrap for survival in WCCL Div 1, the 3s continue to win under the fearless leadership of Ash Baden and the 4s perform well with a mixture of some very young players and some that aren’t!
At youth level the U15s, U13s, U13 T20 and U11 T20 are all top of their respective leagues and players through the age groups continue to represent Wiltshire at district and county level. The future is bright!
Off the field things continue apace – here is a snippet on what is being worked on:
Upcoming events:
Saturday 24th August – our inaugural ‘PINK DAY’ when we will be raising money for ‘against breast cancer’ and Prospect Hospice. The day is held alongside the league game. Karen Millar is helping to organise this. Full details and an event poster are here: https://www.swindoncricketclub.co.uk/calendar/event/pink-saturday-440240
Wednesday 4th September - the County Ground will host the annual President’s XI game against an Arkell’s XI. This is one of the most enjoyable events of the year for the Cricket Club and provides a great opportunity for the Club to entertain its members and supporters in a friendly social gathering. The game starts at 2pm so come along and have a watch and mid-week tipple in the Sun!
FIREWORKS – Our annual family fireworks event will be returning bigger and better in 2019 – look out for details of the date and ticket sales soon. Get them quick when they are released as we have sold out the last two years weeks in advance of the event.
