FINAL Who in the HILL?!

The Chairman Andy Pearce

Welcome all to another packed season of cricket on the hill!

This year we already have over 100 matches scheduled across the club, and are excited to provide even more opportunities for cricket - the women's hardball team will make their competitive debut, as will our new Development XI, and the as-yet-unnamed Hundred franchise will take a bow... all dependent on the rain actually stopping at some point though...

The off-season has again been productive, with indoor league cricket continuing and excellent turnout at training sessions. I'm heartened by the way the club continues to grow and the inclusive attitudes on display at all these sessions.

The committee has also been working hard to put together a vision of how we want to develop club in the future, and we have big plans that are already underway. This is going to require significant investments of time, effort and, of course, money, but will be hugely beneficial to the club and community. More on that to follow, but you can help immediately by signing up to our new membership structure! Details available in all the usual places...

Lastly, a big thank you to all volunteers, club partners and sponsors who are doing so much to support the club and the game we love.

Best of luck in all your fixtures, up the Hill!

The Captain

Adam Cole Final day! Tonight we go to Goodrich to take on Cinderford Stags in the final of the Forest Hundred. When we received a message from Sam from Goodrich about joining the 2024 Hundred league, the interest was mixed, some of us weren’t necessarily sold on the format, but the of midweek cricket was too good to turn down, especiallyin with We approach thereturn summer season with energy and vigour after participating thethe indoor idea ofleague coloured kit and pink balls.
