Junior Section
Hi and welcome to your Youth section.
If you are one of our returning players from last season then its great to see you back.
If you are new to the club then we are just the place to help you develop your cricketing ambition. We are a forward thinking club with the full range of juniors teams taking boys and girls from 6 years and playing in Kwik cricket tournaments as well as U11, U13 and U15 competitions. We have excellent facilities at our Bletchingdon ground and our ECB qualified coaches and assistants are experienced cricketers who are friendly and keen to help you progress. Looking ahead we also have a good track record of involving our juniors from U13 and U15 in our mens teams just to give you something to aim for.
So why not come along and join us in 2008. Just read on to find out more.
