π A Special Day at Peterlee Cricket Club π
Everyone at Peterlee Cricket Club would like to thank Peter, Billy, all of the players, families and supporters from START who travelled to Peterlee today.
START are the only recovery cricket team in the country, using cricket to support people on their recovery journeys and proving the incredible difference that sport, friendship and community can make. Every person involved with the team should be immensely proud of what they are achieving both on and off the field π
We also want to make special mention of the 11 Peterlee players who took to the field today.
As a club, we couldnβt be prouder. Cricket is about far more than runs, wickets and results, and todayβs game was a perfect example of that. Every player who represented Peterlee did so with respect, sportsmanship and a genuine appreciation of what the occasion meant. They embraced the spirit of the day, helped make everyone feel welcome and played their part in an event that showcased the very best of our club.
Todayβs match was bigger than cricket. It was about community, inclusion and supporting an initiative that is changing lives. The lads who wore the Peterlee shirt today should be incredibly proud of the role they played in making it such a memorable occasion.
An excellent game played in exactly the right spirit, and a day that everyone involved should look back on with pride.
