The weather has left us somewhat behind in the race to prepare a decent strip for the first HOME game of the season, but the groundsmen have finally been able to get out onto the ground and kick off the daunting task ahead of them. With many thanks to them and a call to arms to anyone locally who might wish to lend a light hand or sit on a mower at points throughout the summer. Full training would be provided on site and no experience necessary!
This first seniors HOME game is on Saturday 29th April at 13.00 and sees our reformed League side take on Frensham 2s. Such is the pedigree of some of our new recruits that the I’Anson organisers have (in their wisdom?) brought us straight back in to Division 3 of this 7-tiered league. Captain Oli Hickman has been busy on the recruitment front, and whilst things are shaping up nicely, would be very interested to hear from players wishing to enjoy some good quality and competitive cricket. Oli can be contacted on 07702166007.
Of equal quality, although perhaps more so on the tea and chat front, our Sunday friendly side will be in HOME action from Sunday 14th May at 14.00. Headed up by Woody (07753832323), he too would love to hear from anyone locally who may harbour quiet thoughts of dusting off their whites or be looking for a new club at which to play some fun cricket. It is worth noting that father and teenage son or daughter combo’s have come to the fore over the last couple of years too, so if you fall into that category and would like to play a few games this summer, then please do come forward!
If nothing else, the village green is a lovely place to enjoy a sunny afternoon watching on from the boundary, so we hope to see some of you down there before long. A full fixture list for the season ahead can be found here https://www.hambledonsurreycc.co.uk/senior-teams#LeagueXI
