🏏 A proud day for our cricket club! 🏏
Saturday was a special day for the club as Brody Nicholson and Riley Stevens made their senior debuts, becoming the 2nd and 3rd players to progress through our youth system and represent the club, following Callum Wykes, who made his debut last season.
Riley made his debut for the 2nd XI, sharing the occasion with his dad Mark as they took to the field together in a memorable family moment. Brody made his debut for the 3rd XI, another fantastic milestone in his cricketing journey. To make the day even more special, both players experienced victory in their first senior matches.
Seeing our young players develop through the ranks and earn their opportunities in senior cricket is exactly what our youth programme was created to achieve. Brody and Riley’s achievements are a testament to their hard work, dedication and commitment to improving their game.
We would also like to pay special tribute to Huw Williams, our Director of Youth. Since establishing the youth section from the ground up in 2025, Huw has worked tirelessly to create opportunities for young cricketers within the club. With participation numbers growing at a tremendous rate and players now progressing into senior cricket, we’re beginning to see the fruits of that hard work, dedication and vision.
For a youth section that is only in its second season, to already have three homegrown players making senior debuts is something everyone associated with the club can be proud of. The future is looking brighter than ever, and these milestones are just the beginning.
Thank you, Huw, for everything you have done, and congratulations once again to Brody and Riley on this fantastic achievement. We look forward to watching your journeys continue! 💙💛
