At the club's Annual General Meeting, held Sunday 15th January, it was announced that all adult and junior playing and social fees would remain at 2022 levels. Welcomed by all, its stressed this is only possible due to huge efforts in fundraising last year and the pro-bono work around the club by members. The committee is pleased that in the current economic climate and squeeze on families finances prices can be frozen. We encourage anyone to get in touch if cost is an issue to playing cricket in 2023, it should never be a barrier to participation.

Saturday 1st XI - Noman Javed (C) Humayoon Nasir, Jaikumar Uvaraju (VC's)
