CRICKET -- Newcomers Welcome At Inverclyde Indoor Practices

Thursday, 02 February 2012 |

INVERCLYDE Cricket Club start their indoor practices this Sunday (5 February), from 10am to noon at Lady Octavia Sports Centre, Bridgend Road, Greenock.

They will continue at the same time every Sunday until the season starts at the end of April.

After the recent annual general meeting, a new committee is in place with Craig Watson taking over as club president and Chris Boswell (pictured) as captain.

Chris is keen to get good support from members at the practices with the excellent facilities at Lady Octavia allowing good net practice for batsmen, bowlers and fielders.

Inverclyde are also offering coaching to newcomers to the game, for all age groups, juniors and seniors, with qualified coaches being present each week for sessions.

Secondary school pupils are invited to these Sunday morning practice/coaching sessions, at any time between 10 and 12, where experienced players and coaches will be present to teach them about the game. These sessions are being offered this year at no cost to members and new players.

Inverclyde are also pleased to be able to offer midweek Kwik Cricket coaching for primary school pupils, again at no cost to participants. These will be taking place on Wednesday evenings from 6.15 to 7.15pm in Gourock Scout halls, Drumshantie Road, commencing Wednesday 22 February.
