North Curry Cricket club has had a busy and succesful 2007. The committee have been working furiously off the field in developing the funding application,which will facilitate the playing field construction at the White Street ground. Our excellent league team performance last season resulted in runners up success in league 4 and well deserved promotion into division 3 of the "Shrubbery Hotel" Somerset League. Our friendly X1 team playing Sunday and 20/20 evening fixtures proved highly enjoyable with some excellent cricket played throughout the season. For season 2008 we have introduced a 2nd X1 Saturday team, initially playing a handful of games, which will give more players a Saturday game.
The proposed White Street development will provide the Club with a permanent cricket ground, ending its roving existence which has seen home games played as far afield as Taunton School, Knapp and Stoke St Gregory. The hope is to start training and nets at the white Street ground in 2009 and to play our first home game in 2010; our new cricket facilities will be amongst the best in the area.
We have many ideas and plans for cricket within the community; encouraging children to play crciket will be one of our major polices. Regular coaching and net sessions to encourage new players along with forming junior and womens teams will then be possible with our own village facilities, Fundraising for the project is in full swing and thank you to all who have contributed to these efforts.
The nucleus of a very successful team is emerging with several talented young players combining with experienced older pro's that will consolidate our place in division 3 for the coing season. Above all, the club prides itself that whilst winning is important, the pleasure and joy of playing amongst friends is not forgotten. we welcome new members, playing or supporting, please cintact any of the club officers.
Thank you to all who have sponsered the fixture booklet. A special mention to Mark newton of heritage Financial Consultancy. Mark has kindly agreed to continue his support as our main sponcer for this year. we hope to reward all our supporters with a successful 2008 cricket season.
