JUNIOR CRICKET PRESENTATION EVENING 2026
Our evening started with the Under 9s, coached by Craig Robertson, Phil Cockburn, Lenny Rees & Ed Partridge. With 31 youngsters we were able to send at least 2 teams to each of the 9 Cricket Festivals. Craig & Phil mentioned each childโs individual skills & said how every one of them had improved enormously. We have 31 Under 9s at the moment & the majority turn up every Thursday evening for training so, a big โThank youโ to our hardworking coaches. It has been a very enjoyable season & we are all looking forward to 2027. Medals were then given to the delighted young cricketers.
Thank you to Marc Devonald of MD Heating & Plumbing for your continued sponsorship of our U9s cricket tops.
The Girls U12s, coached by Lauren Sutton, have had a fantastic season. We were delighted to welcome four new players to the team this year, who have settled in brilliantly and become a huge part of our squad.
Lauren then took us through the seasonโs match reports, looking back at our games against Narberth, Whitland, Haverfordwest, Cresselly and Lamphey. There have been some fantastic performances, plenty of learning, lots of improvement and, most importantly, plenty of smiles and enjoyment along the way.
To reach the semi-final is a fantastic achievement, especially considering that only two of our players were in the top age bracket this season. The rest of the squad have at least another year in the U12s & show so much potential, which makes what they have achieved even more exciting and gives us plenty to look forward to.
Lauren is incredibly proud of every single one of them and we cannot wait to see them continue to grow, develop and enjoy their cricket together.
And, of course, a very special thank you to Wendy โ the battery that keeps our well-oiled machine moving! Without everything you do behind the scenes, we simply would not be where we are today. Your help, organisation and dedication are invaluable.
Hereโs to next season โ up the girls! ๐๐๐
