TRYSULL &
SEISDON CC Juniors hit the JACKPOT!
Trysull & Seisdon Cricket Club's Junior Section has hit the jackpot by
getting a £1639.00 grant from Awards for All to provide cricket equipment.
The grant will pay for various essential cricket equipment, which has been
provided by IJP Sports, for sole use by younger players. The Junior Section
began in in April 2008 and already numbers have swelled to over 25 at each
session. Club Chairman Stuart Munger said, "This grant is an enormous help
for a small club like ourselves. With our 1st XI in the top division in
Shropshire Cricket and our 2nd XI looking to bring in more youngsters we felt
the development of a Junior section was the next logical step. More importantly
though we wanted to offer cricket to the youngsters of Trysull & Seisdon
and with the support of individuals like Councillor Robert McCardle this is now
happening".
Trysull and Seisdon Cricket Club junior practices are every Thursday from
6.30pm to 8.00pm at Trysull Playing Fields through to the end of August.
If you are interested in attending please ring our Junior Co-ordinator Phil
Watson on 07967 940856 or email trysullandseisdoncc@hotmail.co.uk
Trysull and Seisdon Cricket Cub have benefited from a £500.00 sponsorship from
South Staffordshire Housing Association.
The local Housing Association, which looks to provide sponsorship to support
the creation of successful neighbourhoods and communities provided £500.00 to
assist Trysull and Seisdon Cricket Club in not charging membership fees for its
new junior section and therefore increasing community involvement.
Cricket Club Chairman Stuart Munger said, "We really appreciate the money
South Staffordshire Housing Association have provided us and it has certainly
already helped us attract juniors to the club from the villages. We hope to
deliver a team by this year and alot of this is down to South
Staffordshire Housing Association".
