Summer Cricket Camps

Cricket Development Officer (and KCC club coach), Kirsteen Ross has organised a full summer programme of cricket camps for children and young people aged 7 to 14 years. All camps are suitable for both beginners and experienced players. Skills will be tailored to suit all levels of ability and players will be coached according to age, current ability level and experience. All camps are suitable for both boys and girls. The camps combine cricket technique and skills with games and fun competitions. Kirsteen said “The summer camp coaches have devised a fantastic week-long program of cricket working on the core skills of batting, bowling and fielding as well basic physical literacy, agility, balance, co-ordination and speed. As the week progresses and players become more proficient, coaches will help players develop at their own pace and help them to reach their full potential” The aims of the camps are to deliver cricket coaching in a safe, happy, well structured player-centred environment with great coach/participant ratios and an emphasis on fun and enjoyment for all.

Kinross CC Ladies Scottish Indoor Champions 2010

 

Alistair Dowell

The club is saddened to hear that Alistair Dowell, our oldest member, passed away last Friday just short of his 90th birthday. Alistair was a regular player for Kinross CC in the 1930s and earned several Scotland full team caps in the 1950s. We enjoyed Alistair’s visits to the club when he was able to provide a lot of interesting historical information and Alistair was guest of honour at the club annual awards dinner two years ago. He will be sadly missed.

Intro to Umpiring

Sixteen members of Kinross Cricket Club attended an Intro to Umpiring Evening hosted by the club and held at Loch Leven Community Campus. Scotland umpires, Sandy Scotland and Tom Rurtherford whisked us through the basics of the laws of cricket including No-Balls, Wides, Signalling, How Out, and the very tricky LBW’s.

It was a very enjoyable evening, made all the better by the wonderful supply of home baking provided by KCC ladies player, Wendy Conway.

Undoubtedly this will help with officiating at junior age groups and league matches throughout the season and the delivery of the course forms part of our ongoing development plans for cricket in Kinross-shire. Each participant was presented with a certificate of attendance.
 

Kinross Ladies Win University Challenge

On Sunday 28th March, Gytes Sports Centre, Peebles, played host to the inaugural Scottish Universities Women’s Indoor Cricket Sixes competition. Edinburgh University played hosts to teams from George Watsons College, West of Scotland Women’s team and a combined ladies and girls team from Kinross Cricket Club.

The first match between West Women and Kinross saw West Women score 33 runs in their allotted 5 overs. Opening Kinross bowler, Fiona Willis set the tone for the game putting the West Women under pressure with a tight first over. Wicket keeper, Wendy Conway’s excellent work behind the stumps proved to be invaluable throughout the tournament. After a quick change of innings, Kinross batted and lost an early wicket but then captain, Kirsteen Ross and debutant, Elaine McCreanor batted solidly to reach 34 with an over to spare without the loss of another wicket.

The second match saw a strong George Watsons team beat Edinburgh University with an over to spare.

In the third game, Kinross were asked to bat by George Watson’s. Kinross were initially very reserved in their batting scoring only 1 when they lost their first wicket with the last ball of the first over. However, 13 year old all rounder, Zoe Conway took on the mantle of lead batsman, ably supported by big hitting Laura Walker in her debut cricket match and the pair quickly had the fielding side in disarray as Kinross raced to 57 in the following 4 overs. Watson’s seemed overwhelmed by such strong batting and they struggled to score against some excellent fielding and good bowling. The pick of the bowlers was Lauren Megginson who gave away only 4 runs in her over. Watsons played out their 5 overs scoring 38 for 2 wickets.

Kinross Ladies were now set for an unexpected victory if they could beat Edinburgh University.

Kinross won the toss and put Edinburgh University into bat. The strategy seemed perfect as Edinburgh found runs difficult against some tight bowling and fielding. Edinburgh had only reached 15 after 3 overs when team captain and Scotland Wildcats player Cat Tams started to hit out. Edinburgh Uni scored 20 runs in the final 2 overs giving a very competitive innings score of 35. Kinross scored steadily keeping calm under pressure against some very good, accurate bowling. With 2 overs to go, Kinross needed 14 runs to win, however an outstanding over from the Edinburgh University captain left the Kinross Ladies needing a substantial 11 off the last over. Some good calling and fast running between the wickets by Kirsteen Ross and Lauren Megginson took Kinross to victory with only 2 balls to spare.

Kinross Ladies were overall tournament winners with George Watson’s College taking second place and Edinburgh University and West Women completing the final placings. Zoe Conway won Kinross Player of the Tournament for her excellent performance against Watsons and was presented with a cricket top from Cricket Scotland.

 

Indian Adventure For Kinross Young Player

17 year old, 1st XI player, Peter Ross has been selected to attend Cricket Scotland’s Elite Performance Training Camp in Pune, India, this Easter.

Peter is one of fifteen cricketers invited to attend a two-week intensive training program at one of the world’s leading cricket academies. Cricket Scotland selected Peter after his excellent performances for Scotland in the under-17 ECB County Championships in 2009. Promotion to the elite performance squad which includes several current full national team players is another step forward in Peter’s progression to a professional cricket career.

Boys Selected for Scotland U18s
1st XI players, Peter Ross and Nick Farrar have been selected for the Scotland under-18 squad. This is a marvellous achievement as both boys are very young for this age group with Nick only 16 and Peter, just 17. This is a wonderful achievement as this squad is preparing for qualification for the 2012 under-19 World Cup. The European part of the World Cup qualifiers begins in Summer 2010 and so preparations have begun in earnest at Cricket Scotland to prepare the squad to move forward for this very exciting challenge. Congratulations to them both.

Kinross Cricket Club – Best Cricket Club In The World?

Friday 13th December 2009 didn’t hold any fears for the cricket club. On that day we were named The Wisden Cricketer magazine’s Gray Nicolls Cricket Club of the Year. Wisden Cricketer is the world’s leading cricket publication and is distributed globally. Within 24 hours the club was being featured as major news in most of the Scottish daily newspapers as well as news channels as far away as India and Argentina. The Scotsman Newspaper ran a great feature on page 3 proclaiming the headline “Scots cricket club is best in world!”.

The Wisden award is in recognition of the success the club has achieved in getting children and adults of all ages playing cricket as well as the clubs performances in junior and seniors leagues and Scottish Cup competitions. In addition to the international acclaim the club gets £500 worth of cricket equipment from leading manufacturer Gray-Nicolls. Nick Wilton, Sales Director of Gray-Nicolls said: "Over the past 5 years Kinross has come from nowhere to being leaders in Scottish cricket. They have done fantastic work giving kids the opportunity to play and Gray-Nicolls are delighted to help such a dynamic club."

The International coverage brought another benefit as we were contacted by Joondalup-Kinross cricket club from Kinross, Perth, Western Australia. We are now in the process of setting up a twinning agreement with them which will see some of our teenage players getting the opportunity to go to Australia and play for the southern hemisphere Kinross CC.

Cricket Scotland visited the club to make a video of the road to success and this can be see on YouTube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfxrvVt_Loc. The film clip is entitled Team Kinross.

 

1st XI v Strathmore Match Report

Archie has filed his report for the 1st XI visit to Strathmore and in it he seems to be testing his journalistic integrity as he claimed to have had the top down in his convertible on the way to the game, on the other hand he also describes a full length catch by veteran John Ross, so perhaps all is not lost...

2009 Junior Awards

The annual junior awards were held at The Windlestrae Hotel on Monday 14th September. John Ross welcomed everybody and commented on how well the juniors had done this season and how they were a credit to their parents, themselves and the club. He then took us through the different steps a junior has to go through to get to represent Scotland.

Thanks were given to those very many parents and players who help the club out with transport to matches, support at matches, scoring, umpiring, making teas, helping with events and setting out the pitch.

Kirsteen Ross gave a special thanks to all those who took part in and helped to organise the Fun Run.

The coaches were thanked for all their hard work and dedication.

Representative Honours

Congratulations to Kinross Ladies player, Claire Jackson, for her selection to the under-15 Scotland girls squad following trials held in Stirling recently. Claire is the first girl in the club EVER to make it to the Scotland representative female age groups. Another success for the club to celebrate. Very well done.

1st XI player, Peter Ross has been selected for the under-17 Scotland team to play in the ECB two-day county championships as well as travelling to Belfast to play in the ICC European Division 1 championships. This is an excellent result for Peter as he has had to recover from two broken thumbs and a back strain early this season. He has worked extremely hard to overcome these challenges and has put in some outstanding performances recently.

Club under-15 players, Nick Farrar and George Buchannan-Smith have been selected for the Scotland under-15 team and they travel to Shropshire and Herefordshire next week to play some one-day inter county matches and then onto the European Under 15 Championships.

The club wishes all four players the best of luck this summer.

 

Wisden Gray-Nicolls Club of the Month

Kinross Cricket Club is delighted to have been selected by leading kit manufacturer, Gray Nicolls, to be the Club of the Month in the July edition of the world’s leading cricket magazine, The Wisden Cricketer, wisdencricketer.com.

 

The club is featured on page 89 of the July edition. In addition to the article and photographs, the club is being provided with a new kit bag which will be used by the 2nd XI in their league matches.

The award recognises the club’s improvements over the past 5 years and Kinross Cricket Club is now automatically into the Wisden Club of the Year competition.

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”


Shield presented to Cleish Primary School winners by club and schools coach, Kirsteen Ross


 

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.

John makes it five in a row

Kinross travelled to deepest Fife for their Small Clubs Cup match against local mid week league rivals Broomhall. Skipper John Muncey continued with his toss winning ways giving him “five-in-a row” for the season. The Broomhall pitch looked rough and unpredictable and accordingly Muncey put Broomhall into bat.

A perfect result on a perfect Sunday, just...

Summer finally arrived as Kinross travelled up to the picturesque Doo’cot Park for the much awaited game against Strathearn. Kinross won the toss, which makes John Muncey the most successful Kinross toss winner since Ian Arundel back in 1998 with three wins in a row.
