Welcome

Welcome to the Ramsey Cricket Club website where you can keep up to date with all the news and events for the upcoming 2010 season!

This season will see the Club field sides in Senior,Junior and Womens cricket.

The Club will be fielding 4 senior sides this season: 1st XI participate in the Cambs; Tucker Gardner League, 2nds in Hunts County league Div II, the 3rds in Hunts Div 4, and with a 2nd Season of Sunday Cricket in the Rutland League for the combined 1st XI. The Adults are joined in all the sides by the youth players from the succesful 3rd XI all being a year older everything is in place for a cracking season. This year it will be an early start for the 3rd XI with 4 games in April, the 3rds will need to hit their straps early.

The Umpires Bell will ring! in the Season opener the Twenty/20 calypso cricket match. This being a three way affair between our friends from: Burwell C.C, Peterborough Town C.C and Ramsey C.C on 11th April. Leighton Gilbert, the 1st Team captain, is away so a stand-in skipper will take the reins!

Juniors Cricket: Our blossoming youth system, with ECB qualified coaches and good links with local schools through the Chance 2 Shine (CTS) scheme, will be fielding sides in Under 9 through to Under 15 cricket.

This our 2nd season of Womens competition, whch sees Mrs Joan Smith lead out the Women's cricket team at Cricketfield Lane with a full fixture list. We aim to continue with our Under 13s Girls team this year and may branch out and form our own side if we get enough girls.

All in all the 2010 season is all geared up to be sucessful one on and off the pitch. There will be social events throughout the year for all our members so keep your eyes on the website for further details.

Over the winter period we (those volunteers) have all been busy fundraising and planning for a new double lane; Non-Turf Pitch enclosed net system. The Committee with assistance from Mr Michael Stewart [who is our Coord for the Council Planning application], together with Mr Michael Kay (1st XI) of the ECB. Michael has applied through The Donarbon Community Fund (DCF)for financial assistance towards the project. Concurrently, Mr David Carlaw (Social Committee Chairman) has sought TESCO Ltd - sponsorship. Both of these applications will run alongside our ECB Grant Aid - Single Investment Scheme (SIS). These funds are provided by the ECB to 'Focus Clubs' who meet CTS and Clubmark accredition-of which we qualify through our Junior Division. Hopefully by Mid-year the ECB will make the final decision if we are succesful. Our support to girls and Ladies cricket will hopefully stand us in good stead.

Let's all hope we will be succesfull in acheiving what will be a superb facility in 2010.

Mr John Wells (Cricket Development Officer) is managing this project on behalf of the Main Committee, by completing the ECB SIS and previously hosting the x3 Company bidders who are all ECB approved: Notts Sports Ltd, Exclusive Leisure Ltd, ClubTurf Ltd. The site visits were last year between Sep-Nov. Keep an eye on the Club Notices/Planning/Costs and manufacturers Drawings in the pavilion in April for further details.

Thanks for taking the time to look at our site and we look forward to welcoming you at Cricketfield Lane during the summer of 2010. Always remember... ... ... ...
