Junior Cricket 6 of 9

6. Under 11 and upwards


As your child develops they will move into the hard ball squads; under 11’s, under 13’s and under 15’s. Here children learn the skills of match play and further develop with bowling and batting skills.

We enter teams in the local leagues. In addition, we also put out teams at Under 19 level, known as Southwell Byrons, who compete mainly in cup and friendly matches.

We encourage our junior players through the squads leading eventually to play adult cricket participating in our senior teams. Our approach continues to be to attract, bring on and develop our juniors by involvement with senior cricket as soon as they are considered ready, but only when they are ready and with the necessary coaching and support from our senior players. Senior players continue to mentor juniors at net sessions and during games to enhance their development.

Summer training sessions start in late April on a Friday night 6-7pm for the juniors and Kwik cricket, 6-8pm for the hardball teams. Action takes place at the ‘Top Ground’, Brackenhurst Lane with car parking available in front of the playing filed. The club house hosts a licensed bar, and we run a tuck shop and sell hot dogs & chips each Friday night.
