Playing on the artificial wicket

Our artificial wicket has proved to be a fantastic resource, ensuring that cricket can be played and enjoyed by all levels of our club and we want to keep it that way. To help with this can all coaches and captains make sure that their players and all visiting teams understand that players wearing metal spiked shoes will not be permitted to bowl or bat on our artificial wicket. If there is any doubt or you have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact either of our groundsmen, Ant Drew or John Ross.

In the July issue of the Wisden Cricketer, wisdencricketer.com, magazine, we were voted the Gray-Nicolls Club of the Month and will be receiving a bag of Gray-Nicolls goodies.

This is a national magazine and getting selected is a pretty big deal so well done and thanks to all our members, players, coaches and scorers.

The article is available in the pavilion for you all to read.

The deadline for collecting vouchers has now passed and so on behalf of Kinross Cricket Club, a big thanks to everybody who brought us vouchers.

There were almost 2800 vouchers handed in so we must be a really well fed club!!!

We have been able to get a number of bats and match balls and once they arrive, we will get a photo up on the site so that you can see what you have helped us get.

Thanks again.

If you have not handed it in yet, can you please bring your money with you to coaching on Monday night.

We have raised just over £500 so far, so well done and a big thanks to you all.

Kinross-shire Primary Schools Kwik Cricket Tournament

Cleish Primary School were crowned winners for the second year running of the Kinross-shire Primary Schools kwik cricket competition hosted by Kinross Cricket Club at their Kinross House ground on Friday 12th June 2009. Eight teams took part, including 2 from Kinross Primary, 2 from Fossoway Primary, 2 from Portmoak Primary and one each from Cleish and Milnathort Primary Schools. There was a great deal of excellent quality cricket from all the teams and all the games were played competitively and in the “Spirit of Cricket” .

Cleish will now go on to represent the area in the Kinross, Tayside, Angus and Fife Regional round within the next couple of weeks.

This follows a 3 month program of schools coaching carried out by club coaches in all the Kinross-shire Primary Schools. Two of the schools have now set up after school cricket activities to meet the demands of their pupils that enjoy the game. Many of the youngsters involved have joined Kinross Cricket Club’s junior section which has well over 100 junior members.

Club Tournament Organiser and Schools Coach, Kirsteen Ross said “It is fantastic to see so many young players participating in cricket and especially the growing number of girls. It is clear to see there is a lot of sporting talent in the primary schools in Kinross-shire. We would like to thank the schools for the warm welcome they extend to our club coaches and their support and encouragement for our “cricket taster” program that we run each year to introduce children to the game”

Boys do well in Arbroath

An U11 team travelled to Arbroath for the Moira Shaw Kwik Cricket Tournament and put in a fantastic performance, loosing narrowly in the semi-finals to the hosts.

In their first match, they just lost out to Largo by 15 runs but then recorded victories over Strathmore and Watsonians to see them qualify for the semi-finals where they met the hosts who proved to be too strong for them on this occasion.

The boys all received medals on the day with one of the parents saying that their son was chuffed with his medal and so he should be.

Well done boys and a big thanks to cliff for travelling with the boys to make it possible to play the game, without you it simply would not have happened.

2009 Photographs

We have started to put some photos up from the 2009 season (U11s v Largo, Junior Coaching and Ladies Coaching) but would really like to have more. If you are at any Kinross matches and you have taken some photographs and are happy to share them, then we would love to have a copy of them.

Can you please stick them on a CD or memory stick, which we will return, and bring them to Monday night training and either leave them at the registration desk or give them to Ant Drew. 

If possible can you give us the photos straight off the camera, as we will work with them from there.

100 Club

The aim of the 100 club is to raise much needed funds for the Cricket Club.

It is hoped that the club will have at least 100 members, but it will be possible to have more than 1 membership.

Each membership will cost £4.00 per month, paid by Standing Order (see enclosed form) or a lump sum of £48 paid annually. 50% of this income will benefit the club and 50% will paid out in prizes, through a monthly draw and a larger Christmas prize.

Debbie Weir from the fundraising committee has agreed to manage this scheme along with club treasurer, Alan Harper.

Should you have any queries regarding the 100 club, please contact Debbie on 01259 743 417.
