Community News DONCASTER CANCER DETECTION TRUST

As mentioned in last month’s news, everything is progressing well with buying the Fibroscanner for the Hepatology Department at Doncaster Royal Infirmary. This will help in the fight against liver disease which, in some cases, may lead to cancer. Prevention is always best.

We are still looking for someone to help our Secretary. It is an interesting job and will only take a couple of hours a week on average. If you would like more information as to what is involved please telephone Ruth on 07510 963542 for an informal chat.

Hatfield Town Cricket Club

Our first mention this month has to be to those members who have put so much time in over the last few weeks to make sure matches and training has been able to go ahead largely as planned. We are one of the few clubs that have been able to play all our home fixtures but sadly the seniors haven't yet been able to play an away fixture, with some lads still to pick up a ball or bat in anger. Your 1st XI have only played one league and one cup fixture and by chance both were against Parkhead CC. The league fixture was very one-sided with Town coming out on top easily before a rain affected cup fixture saw Town win on runs scored after 10 overs to move into round 2. The 2nd XI have played both home fixtures and had wins against Millhouse Works and Eden Grove to see them top of the league at this early stage. The ladies softball side fielded several juniors as they came up short against a much more experienced Stainborough side. With the both hardball and softball fixtures on the same day we expect to see more of the young talent given game time in the top division softball league this season. The juniors have had a disrupted start with the Under 9's and 15's starting with big wins, whilst the inexperienced 13's fell short at Hensall. The 11's are still to play a league fixture but have been training hard.

Wednesday senior training has been very popular with a great turn out each week and we hope to see this build throughout the season, all players male and female are welcome to come along. Junior Fridays have been off to a good start despite the appalling weather and we welcome any child to come along and join in. There are already a good number signed up for the All-Stars programme following our in school coaching sessions so it promises to be another great year!

As always a big thank you to sponsors and supporters, you are much appreciated!
