π Junior Softball Festival at Bridlington Cricket Club π
What a fantastic day at Bridlington Cricket Club on Sunday as we welcomed clubs from across the region for our Junior Softball Festival.
20 teams took part throughout the day, with over 120 young cricketers enjoying a fantastic day of cricket. It was great to see teams from Beverley, Cottingham, North Ferriby, Goole, Driffield, Hull Zingari, Brandsburton and Bridlington all coming together to celebrate junior cricket.
Bridlington CC was represented by two boysβ teams and one girlsβ team.
A huge thank you goes to everyone who helped make the day such a success. Casey Rudd and Tim Atkin did a fantastic job looking after the boysβ teams, while Greg Miller and Robyn Chapman took charge of the girlsβ team. Inside the clubhouse, Vicki and Andy Leeson, Sam Edmundson and Diane were flat out throughout the day ensuring players, families and visitors were looked after.
A special mention to Elliot Traves for organising the festival and bringing everything together.
As always, a massive thank you to our groundsman, Barry Rudd, who was down at the club from 7:30am marking out pitches and preparing the ground. The amount of work Barry puts in behind the scenes is enormous and can easily go unnoticed. Everyone at Bridlington Cricket Club appreciates the outstanding ground we are fortunate to play on, and Barry is a huge part of making that possible. π
Most importantly, well done to every child who took part. Days like these are what junior cricket is all about β giving young people the opportunity to play, learn, make friends and enjoy the game in a fun and welcoming environment.
Thank you to all the players, coaches, volunteers, parents and supporters who made it such a memorable day! π
