Selkirk CC grateful for Sponsors support

WITH the 2022 season now under way, Selkirk Cricket Club received a timely boost last week when two local businesses stepped forward with sponsorship deals.

Selkirk captain Greg Fenton shakes hands with South East Heating Services’ managing director, Donny McKenzie, who has presented the club with new playing kit. Selkirk CC chair Neil Gentleman looks on.

SELKIRK CRICKET CLUB GRATEFUL FOR SPONSORS’ SUPPORT

South East Heating Services Ltd has donated a brand new set of cricket kit to the club’s 1st XI, while Bankend Services has supplied two new umpires’ jackets.

This is going to be a special season for Selkirk Cricket Club, as it marks the 150th anniversary of the club’s move to its Philiphaugh home.

“We’re hoping it will be a memorable year,” said Selkirk Cricket Club chair Neil Gentleman, “and we are very grateful to South East Heating Services and Bankend Services for their generous support.

“A number of special events are taking place to celebrate the anniversary, including a cricket festival for primary school children in June, and the launch of an inter-house cricket competition at Selkirk High School.

“A special dinner is also being staged at the club in September, while each team visiting Philiphaugh will be presented with a commemorative plaque.”

Junior Nets start again next week!! Thursday 21st April after school

Running Thursdays after school (4pm start) until 5pm down at the cricket club – all high school pupils welcome but older (14+) pupils may want to attend the later senior session (starting at 6pm). This junior session would also be suitable for those who attended the Dynamo’s sessions last summer.

We are also arranging a taster session for those interested in coming along to the All Stars (5 to 8 year olds) and Dynamos (8 to 11 year olds) programmes – you can already book on to these programmes but you may prefer to attend the taster session first before you pay. The taster sessions will take place on the 29th April – 3pm for All Stars and 4pm for Dynamos. Both programmes will then start on the 13th May running through to the 8th July (with a break for the common riding!).
