There was enthusiastic support for today’s Under 9s festival at Bredon Cricket Club.
Six teams gathered at Hill Close in mild but overcast weather for a cracking day of junior cricket.
The festival was organised by second teamer Mark Notley, with help from Sean Styles and Glenn Buckley, and their hard work was recognised by an appreciative crowd of parents and visitors, who offered warm encouragement to the young players.
As well as the cricket, there was a barbecue staffed by Jennie Warren and Mandy Clements-Hunt; a tea, coffee and cake stall organised by Lucy Washbourne, hit-the-wicket competition, and prize raffle. Will Rollett kept the drinks flowing behind the bar, while Jacob and Ollie volunteered as umpires.
Although the day started off warm and dry, it became cooler later and the festival had to be hurriedly concluded when it began raining.
There was a short prize-giving ceremony in the clubhouse.
Both Dumbleton and Bredon finished the day with 10 points, but Dumbleton were declared winners having conceded fewer wickets.
Tewkesbury claimed third place with eight points and fewer wickets conceded than any other team finishing with eight points.
It’s the turn of some of Bredon Cricket Club’s youngest players to demonstrate how much they’ve learned about the game in a short space of time.
We are hosting an Under 9s cricket festival for six teams on Sunday, June 19, 2016.
It happens to be Father’s Day, so bring your dad along to the festival. It’ll be an ideal treat!
Parents, other juniors, club members and guests are also invited to what is sure to be a wonderful family day out. The cricket at Hill Close gets under way at 1.30pm.
Our fully licensed clubhouse bar will be open, and there will be a barbecue.
Tea, coffee and cakes will be on sale too.
We also have a terrific competition lined up.
See how many times you can hit the wicket with six balls. The top bowler wins tickets to watch the Worcestershire versus Northamptonshire one-day match at New Road on July 27.
Bredon Cricket Club under 9s opened their season with a narrow defeat at Dumbleton on Sunday.
Playing in bright sunshine at one of the county’s most attractive grounds, our boys batted first and scored 284 runs.
Dumbleton, though, were marginally the better team and ended the match winning by 11 runs.
