Kids Cricket Returns

Wednesday 25 of June sees the first part of plans to re-establish junior cricket at KCC. Eight local Primary Schools: Willow Brook, Crossdale, Keyworth Primary, Bunny, Willoughby, Kinoulton, Brookside and Cotgrave C of E will all be battling it out at the Field of Dreams in Keyworth, in the inaugural KCC Ten10 Cricket Festival.

The competition is a modified version of Twenty20 played with Kwik Cricket equipment. Teams consist of 8 players, with at least one girl or boy per team contesting a ten over match. Full cricket rules apply, minus LBW, with the most runs equaling victory.

Each team will play 3 matches to determine the first winners of the Shield and Plate competition.

The event is kindly sponsored by Proludic, who make and supply play and sports equipment for children, teenagers and the wider community.

There are plenty of other prizes to play for with extreme catching and clap catch champion up for grabs, along with the run out challenge, pairs catching, name the player, guess the number and most wickets and runs scored during the day.

Teams will register at 10.40, with the first round matches due to commence at 11.15. The final games commence at 3.15 with the presentation at 3.30.

Refreshments are available so please feel free to come and support, bring the sunshine, and spot the next Stuart Broad or Kevin Pietersen.
