It was pleasing to see the success on the pitch led by by our 1[st] XI gaining promotion. We will go into 2026 with new challenge but with the knowledge that we have a strong base to work from with teams competing from All Stars, all they way through the junior and youth system onto Senior Cricket including our Women’s section which continues to grow.
We must as always, commend the Management Committee who with their continued efforts ensure the smooth running and forward progression of the club.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The charity’s normal policy is to ensure that the Management Committee generate and keep adequate funds and reserves for the efficient running of the club and in turn the charity, on a day-today basis. It was achieved this season with a pretty much maintained position, even with a substantial increase in capital expendture. The continued implementation of budgets for all departments which gives us sensible targets to achieve.
We successfully submitted all returns to the Charity Commission for 2024.
