Easton and Martyr Worthy Cricket Club Update
The good weather in April has enabled our outdoor training to commence. The Senior players are training on a Thursday evening at the David Roth Cricket Ground – the square has been prepared for the first of our pre-season friendlies; with the first competitive match being the Club vs Tichborne CC on Sunday April 24th in the National Village Cup.
All Juniors’ training will commence outdoors during the week beginning Monday April 25th. If you would like further details on this please contact Rhi Kerr on the email provided below.
Women / Girls Update
The Ladies’ section of the Club continues to grow from strength to strength – from the Under 9s Girls’ team all the way up to the Ladies’ squad, they are awaiting the 2022 summer season with much anticipation, aiming to build upon 2021’s unrivalled successes.
Last year EMWCC hosted the inaugural ‘Golden Bat’ tournament at the start of the season. Inviting local rival teams to get the post covid play kick started. Captained by Charlie Gloyn and with their coach Mark Low at the helm, the Ladies enjoyed a string of successful friendly matches, culminating in winning the closing end of season tournament at IBM Hursley, undefeated.
The fun day in September celebrated this growing section of the Club and marked the season’s achievements with a BBQ and mother and daughter pairs competition. Matches were played in full inflatable fancy dress costumes!
Over the winter the ladies have not been resting on their laurels. They have kept up practice by entering the fast paced Indoor League at Dummer Cricket Centre and came a close second in their group. Winter training has been underway for the U9, U11 and U13 Girls’ squads and they are match ready!
For the 2022 summer season the Ladies have entered the local W10 League and each of the Girls’ squads have Cup and League matches to play. The key ethos is to learn and master the basic skills of cricket, but above all to be inclusive and have lots of fun. The Ladies / Girls section welcomes new players, so do get in touch.
