Richmondshire CC Under 11 Festival Sunday 11th September

On this date the club will be hosting a cricket festival for children in the U11 age group. Although the new school year will have started, eligibility is based on the school year at the start of this season, all those who were at Primary School at the start of this season are eligible.

Traditionally this event was held on a Sunday earlier in the season when there was no home adult match, now that the under 11 league matches are played on a Sunday, we have had to move it to late in the season, which does unfortunately mean mean there will be a clash with football or rugby for some players.

This is a mini tournament, now starting at 1.00pm (updated 31 Aug), involving teams of eight players, using a hard ball. There will be teams from Richmondshire CC and from invited clubs in the surrounding area.

There will be two matches taking place at any one time, with initial matches taking place in a league format, followed bya final. Matches will be 8 overs a side, therefore each match should be complete inside an hour.

John Broderick will be contacting players from his match squad, but this tournament is also appropriate for younger players who are looking to move up to playing hard ball cricket next season. 

Could parents of any younger players who wish to register interest please see me on Friday night or send an email to jim@whilefamily.co.uk.
