Croft Cricket Club

Our beloved sports pavilion has been given a bit of a facelift as it now has become the home of Cafe Latte. This establishment has decorated the lounge area and provided some new "bistro" style seating (no more the visiting team getting ants in their pants!!!) which we, the Cricket Club, can use. They have also provided some personal touches to the toilets!!!

At the moment, the cafe only opens on Tuesdays from 9.30am-1.30pm and serves an array of Teas, Coffees, snacks, cakes etc...well worth a visit.

They have had to regster with the Environmental Health (who gave us a glowing report on our facilities!!) and it has now been brought to our attention that all Cricket Clubs who serve Teas have to also register....so we are currently in the process of doing this before the start of the season.

Lets try and support the Cafe Latte as the more use our pavilion gets, the more chance we have of getting a new one!!

23rd August 2009....a day that will live in infamy!

2 Captains will lead there respective teams into battle.

President Roger "Sam" Palmer will lead his experienced troops against Chairman Scrimshire's fledgling militia.

The battlefield for this contest is the Recreation Ground, Winston Avenue, Croft.

Who will arise at the end with the trophy? Come along to the event and find out!

See you all there for what promises to be a day of fun and festivities!

Hi All,

On Tuesday the 14th July 2009, Croft will be playing a Twenty20 Charity match against a Heathcote Arms Select XI.

The match will be played to raise money for Breast Cancer Research and will take place down the ground from 6pm onwards.

Post-match refreshments will be available down the Heathcote Arms afterwards.

If you are interested in playing then let me or Fraz know. If you are not interested in playing then please make an effort to support this cause.

Regards,

Jason Scrimshire
Chairman

Teamsheets for the 1st and 2nd XI will appear under the fixtures tab on the Tuesday before matchdays.

The latest league tables and results will also be updated every Tuesday throughout the season.

Stay tuned for further updates.

Croft CC need more committee members. The numbers attending the monthly meetings over the past few months have been dwindling and if the club isn't to start suffering then we need more people to pay an interest in how the club is run.

Very little time is needed...just once a month we meet at the Heathcote on a Wednesday night (the 1st wednesday of the month) and discuss issues affecting the club. Decisions have to be made and we need to know what you the players want...so please have your say. If it gets any worse, I can honestly see the day when the club will be in dire straits again and no-one surely wants that.

We have come along way so lets not slip back...this is your club so be proud of it and help it go forward...it really needs your help.
