The Cricket season is underway and Chertsey Cricket Club welcomes new, old and existing members to Grove Road for the new season.

We are looking forward to a new Surrey Championship league season under the direction of Ricky Redmond this year’s first XI captain and the ever popular kiwi Brendon Byrne, our first cricket manager. Even in the first week of training we have seen a more structured approach to training and coaching that will hopefully result in improved performances on the field through all our sides.
If you are interested in playing Cricket at Chertsey, then come on down to our club, with the most prestigious history in Cricket. Whatever your standard, we can accommodate your talents.
Rick and Brendon will be focussing on our three Saturday league sides but we will also be running at least one senior Sunday side and hopefully a fourth team playing friendly matches most Saturdays.
Senior training takes place Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.00 pm.

Our Genet Twenty20 league has expanded again, and Thursday nights should be pretty lively. Most sides comprise a combination of the good, bad and certainly the ugly. Enthusiasm is generally valued more highly than technique. So if anyone is interested in social twenty over cricket, contact me at the club and I am sure I can put you in touch with a Captain who would welcome reinforcements.

The junior section will hopefully build on last years successes at all age groups, and Friday nights will continue to be an ever popular coaching night and social evening.

If you are less active, come and visit anyway, including those former members who seam to have forgotten where we are. We have a well stocked and very reasonably priced bar, a welcoming social atmosphere in our traditional pavilion (with Sky Sports on the way for the Ashes series), in the most attractive best kept secret setting in Chertsey, or just bring a picnic, sit in the sun and watch the Chertsey Blue Caps in action.

Look forward to seeing you soon.

Chris
