Our club's been going from strength to strength on the cricket field for the last few years, but our training and playing facilities are struggling to keep up. Our nets at the ground, and our junior match astro wicket, are over 20 years old, and they're showing their age - the bounce is more and more uneven, and we won't be able to use them for much longer. And that's where you come in - we really need your help to raise funds to replace them!
With your help, we can build a new net facility here to last for the next 20 years, proper enclosed nets that are more contained and secure, with a good quality base that's durable with a predictable bounce. We'll be able to do more training at the ground with all of our age groups.
We'll also be able to update our astroturf wickets at the ground, which we need if we're going to fit in more matches for our junior section.
At the moment, we've got 10 mixed junior teams from Under 9 to Under 15 that play across Hampshire. And last year, we started an all girls Under 16 team. We've got plans to grow more over the next few years, and we're hoping to have a total of 6 girls and ladies teams in 5 years time.
The club supports over two hundred junior cricketers, from those in our All Stars programme, to those playing for Hampshire teams as well as the club.
Having better nets and match pitches would help us to develop our skills. We really hope you can help us to make it happen.
