Kirk Hammerton Cricket Club
The last game of the 2024 season at Mill Lane took place on 14th September, our friends from Walton Park 3rd XI winning the game and their division in the Nidderdale League. Our other groundshare guests, Clifton Alliance 3rd XI, also won their Yorkshire Premier League North 4th Division (Galtres) title. They’ve both played some enjoyable, winning cricket. Clifton Alliance are moving on next season, and we wish them all the best – a fantastic club who deserve their success. We’re already in discussions with another club who wish to use Mill
Lane in 2025.
The following day young Head Groundsman Alex started work on end of season renovation of the square! This is a time-consuming and expensive business and we’re grateful to Bully, Kev Ambrosen (Clifton Alliance CC) and Bernard Jacklin (Ouseburn CC) who have lent us kit and given us their advice and time.
Thanks also to Tony Gill, John Pick and Chris Eaton for the miles of outfield mowing they have done this season.
Our plans to join a senior evening league, and start All Stars cricket for children aged 5-8 years in 2025 are moving forward, and we’re looking for volunteers to
help with a couple of specific roles, for which training will be provided:
All Stars Activator – to facilitate game play & warm-ups with parents and other volunteers over 8 weekly sessions of one hour. Cricket knowledge is great but not a pre requisite, and you don’t have to be a qualified coach. You do need to be at least 18 with a passion for getting children involved in sport and the ability to inspire children and adults.
Club Safeguarding Officer to provide a ‘first point of contact’ for everyone in the club for child safeguarding matters, and to ensure the club is adopting and implementing the safeguarding activities necessary
for it to fulfil its duty of care for children.
