FROME Cricket Club says it has plans for exciting times ahead for the vibrant, friendly club offering cricket for 5 year olds up to seniors.
The club reports, “Following the EGM [Emergency General Meeting] at the end of January, Mike Cooper has been appointed Club Secretary and Mark Harman as Cricket Chairman.
“Under the Chairmanship of Nick Larder, Frome Cricket Club announced its ambitious plans for the 2020 season and beyond.
“Following promotion at the end of last season, the 1st XI are aiming to finish mid table or higher and secure their position in the West of England Premier League Premier 2, Bristol & Somerset in the forthcoming season and the 2nd XI are chasing promotion to Somerset Premier Division and a place at the Intermediate Cup Final. The ethos of the 3rd XI, which was set up 2 years ago, is to develop youth players and move them into senior cricket and they will be seeking a top five finish in the Somerset League Division 6.
“Aside from the senior teams, the Sunday Falcons plays fixtures at Fromefield with matches being a springboard for youth and ladies into senior cricket and match practice for the seniors.
“The Ladies team will be looking to establish a team in the BANES league and there will be the introduction of a focussed Dynamos programme for girls. The longer term view sees the ladies playing in both hardball and softball leagues and a junior girls section playing regular fixtures.
“Frome Cricket Club already has a very active Juniors section, fielding U11, U13 and U15 teams playing in local fixtures. Friday night juniors training is a sociable event for all the family to enjoy. A new addition for the 2020 season will be the introduction of a Kwik Cricket multi-team tournament for the U9s.
“Longer term, the club intends to introduce a Senior 4th XI team, see the 1st XI at another County Cup Final at Taunton and for the 2nd XI to become the Intermediate Cup Winners. The ambition for the 3rd XI is to reach the Minor Cup Final at Taunton and that the Ladies will be participating in senior 3rd and 4th XIs on Saturdays.
“All Stars for 5-8 year olds returns in 2020 with action-packed Sunday mornings starting on 17th May at the Cricket Club. Registration is open on ecb.clubspark.uk
“Exciting times ahead at Frome Cricket Club, which is a vibrant, friendly Club offering cricket for 5 year olds up to seniors. It also has an active social programme of events including quiz nights, outdoor film nights and team building days.
