Pre Season at Nunwick Cricket Club By Adam Collins
Over the last month Nunwick CC players and members have been hard at work on and off the pitch getting themselves and the club ready for the upcoming season. The senior players have been put through their paces in the indoor winter nets which the club run on Sunday evenings, with an array of different drills such as circuit training, boxing, crazy catch net drills, and fielding, batting and bowling work, its safe so say some of the lads have been very stiff at work on Monday morning!! The ground staff have been working hard with head groundsman Chris Malpas leading the way in trying to get the pitch in tip top shape again for this years fixtures and training evenings. A mixture of the two senior teams got together and put in a days work tidying the pavilion, sweeping the astro pitch and nets, and completing a host of other jobs as well as building a barbecue. The pitch and club is just about ready to go and with some more fine tuning in the nets and with two pre season friendlies arranged against Braithwaite and Appleby the players of both the 1st & 2nd teams should be ready for an excellent season. Off the field, the club held a very successful quiz night at Great

Salkeld village hall, where 26 teams packed the hall out for a highly competitive quiz with curries, rice and naan breads served at half time supplied by Spice King from Appleby, and a big thanks goes to Helen Hodgson for preparing the food. The club raised in excess of £600 with the lucky winners of the quiz scooping a £100 1st prize!! The club would like to thank everyone who supported the evening and with the positive feedback we received, we will be making it an annual event. Next on the fund raising list is a bingo evening which is being organised by professional bingo caller Mike Carrick and further details of that will be published soon.
