…to John Gell, Helen Hood and Claire Hendry who have all passed their UKCC level 1 coaching qualification. Helen and Claire are the first parents to have taken the qualification - well done.

We have now had 4 people pass the level 1 qualification since the end of last season, this is a fantastic effort. If any other players or parents would like to take a coaching qualification please contact either Simon Smith or John Gell - both contact numbers are on the ‘officials’ page of the website. 

The club held their Presentation Night at Regatta Way a couple of weeks ago and a cracking night was had by all. Congratulations to the ladies and gents who organised the event which was a great success.

There has been a great deal happening off the pitch since the cricket finished in September;

A side has been entered into the Under 15’s league for the 2010 season. The team will be run by Simon Smith and he will be assisted by Paul Williams who is a parent of the one of the players. Many thanks to Paul for giving up his time to assist.

After losing their first 5 matches of the season the first team beat champions Radcliffe by 5 wickets to ensure that they will again be playing cricket in Division A next season. This is a fantastic effort bearing in the mind the horrendous season they have had with injuries to key players, well done.

The academy finished on Sunday for the Summer but nets have already been booked at Trent Bridge from January. Full details will be posted on the website so please keep checking from time to time.

The under 13’s have a fixture on Bank Holiday Monday away at Keyworth with a start time of 10.30. Anybody wishing to attend to support would be welcome. They play at the Rec ground in Keyworth which is just behind the church.

The academy training session runs this weekend as normal.

Our under 13’s have been invited to play against Keyworth on the Bank Holiday Monday as part of their club day. The game will start at 10.30 and the team will meet at Regatta Way at 9.45 so as to arrive in convoy in case anybody does not know where their ground is.

The selected players will be contacted this week.

Just a reminder that this Sunday is G & S Presidents Day - see previous entry for full details.

Well done to the under 13’s who only just lost to Wollaton on Sunday. Wollaton scored 121 and we fell just 3 runs short. A fantastic effort against an established junior league team that contained both County and District players.

This shows just how far the Academy youngsters have come since the start of the season and we will be entering league teams for next season so this is an impressive indicator as to how well we can play.
