Littlewick Green colts certainly know how to kick off the cricket season in style!

The glorious weather was an obvious highlight, but even more uplifting was the enthusiasm and generosity shown by our players and their families.

Our L’Hartisan friends treated us to some delicious crepes and other treats, whilst boys, girls, mums and dads played several games of “5 bats” cricket. It was lovely to see children and parents catching up with each other after the winter.

And whilst this afternoon was a resounding success for bringing our #oneclub together, it also meant we have reached and exceeded the target set to fund our bowling machine.

Thank you to everyone who came along and contributed to such a fun, positive atmosphere. Thanks especially to the Harts who fed us and James who pulled it all together (having spent the morning coordinating putting up the sight-screens!).

So we will start the new season with several new families in the club, a bunch of energetic, talented players, a fancy new scoreboard, a beautiful boundary rope, a shiny brass bell and now a machine that bowls.

What a time to be alive.
