Next Season Fixtures

The 2010 season league fixtures are now out, see the fixtures on this website. We have exciting new challenges with the first team welcoming newcomers to the league, Oakham and Loughborough Carillon (aka ‘the scrapyard team’). The second team will also welcome the two first teams of Melton Mowbray and Loghborough Outwoods. Looks like extra practice is called for all round.

Net Practice

Winter nets continue at Grace Road at 7pm on Wednesday evenings through to the end of April. All welcome including new players. Then we hope to be in a position in April to use outdoor nets on our old cricket square.

Ground Developments

Persimmon Homes has now commenced work on building homes on the Aylestone Road part of the ground and this has required us to down size the cricket paying area from its former generous size. We have accordingly built a new square with the professional help of Woodward Turfcare from Wolvey. The grass seeding has taken well. We are currently unsure as to whether or not the new square will be playable for either part or all of the forthcoming 2010 season. As a contingency, we have retained the existing square for temporary use, but it will have short boundary in one corner.

AGM

The club AGM will be held early in the New Year and all members are requested to endeavour to attend  as we will be appointing new captains for the forthcoming year and there will also be an update on the development at the ground.
