2024 Youth Cricket Awards
KECC Youth Cricket Awards
Saturday 14th September saw the annual KECC Youth Cricket Awards. It was great to see so many parents, coaches, helpers and players there to finish the season in such a positive way. The day started early with a Players v Parents match which the parents just managed to win as well as and U9 and girls softball game. It was great to see so many young and not so young players, playing cricket on a beautiful September day. Thanks to our President John Sheldon for his positive words and for preparing the pitches for the morning matches.
