A number of enquiries have been made on behalf of children in Reception Class age-group to join Merstham Cricket Club. However, the club only trains children who are in School Year 1 and above at present. If, however, a parent were to come forward and wishes to become a coach in order to train children who are in Reception Year, then it is possible that we would take on coaching this age-group, but we do not offer training to this age at present. Anyone who is prepared to become a coach to do that should contact Simone Murrough.
Merstham Cricket Club welcomes enquiries from girls of primary school age who want to learn to play cricket.
Training will take place on Friday evenings from late April, between 6-7pm.
Sutton Cricket Club is holding an introduction to umpiring course on March 25, something which would prove of benefit to anyone who regularly finds themselves carrying out the role of umpire during matches, even for a few overs while their side is batting.
This course runs over an evening and lasts for approximately 2.5 hours. It covers the essential Laws that anyone will need to get started in umpiring, and is particularly useful for those who might umpire occasionally, as parents at a junior match, or perhaps while playing in a game themselves, or coaching.
Merstham Cricket Club's first team came third tonight in the Surrey Mirror/Dorking Advertiser sports award team of the year section.
