Awards for young batters,
fielders and bowlers as summer of cricket draws to a
close
Another successful summer of cricket
has comes to a close in Welton – but autumn training is not far
away!
The summer season saw dozens of
youngsters, from beginners to the more accomplished, enjoy cricket
in the village.
There was eight weeks of All Stars
for the smallest ones to some strong match play for the older ones
who like to slog the ball like budding Bothams.
There were so many highlights to
the season and outstanding individual displays. It presented the
coaches with some tough decisions for the end of the season
awards.
Awards were as follows:
U13s
Player of the season: Ollie
Seymour
Most improved: Pearce
Braddish
Spirit of Cricket: Alfie
Walton
Under 11s
Player of the season: Ruari
Lowe
Most improved: Vincent
Braddish
Spirit of cricket: Isaac
Mort
Under 9s
Player of the season: Harper
Thomas
Most improved: Eleanor

Spirit of cricket: Seth

From its inception just a few years
ago, the club is now thriving thanks to a hardy bunch of volunteers
and backing from a host of businesses.
Whilst the summer season is over,
cricket does not end here! Plans are already afoot for indoor
training which will start in October on Thursday and Friday
evenings – watch this space for more details.

Welton & Dunholme Cricket Club
Sun, rain…and cricket – a
quintessential summer of British sport continues in the
village
Scores of young cricketers have been
braving the mixed weather conditions with smiles on their faces –
and fun at the crease.
Welton and Dunholme Cricket Club welcomes youngsters of all ages and abilities – from those wanting to keep fit and learn new sports, to those who want to quench their thirst for competition in match play.
Coaching takes place on Thursdays
(Under 10s upwards) and Fridays (under 9s and below). By the time
of going to press, an eight-week course of cricket known as All
Stars - for the minis - would be nearing completion
too.
Recently the club had some great
news with funding of a new batting cage from West Lindsay District
Councillors and Jump Inc – essential for the older kids who like to
smash the ball a bit harder! (see photo). Massive thanks from the
club.
The club is always looking for new
volunteers. For more details on the club go to hello@wdcc.org.uk

For the next season, 50% of games will be played at major arenas across the country, delivering bigger crowds and enhanced match day experiences for fans, whilst all games will be available to watch from home.
With an extra franchise club, in the East Midlands this is good news for upcoming local players as as another performance pathway may allow more Lincolnshire girls to participate at the higher level however not such good news for the South, South west and Scotland.
There has been some success at local level with recent trials.
Congratulations to Elsie Smyth (transitioning from Welton St Marys to William Farr) who has secured a place in the Loughborough Lightning experience U14 Lincoln hub.
Success for William Farr girls followed at the recent Aspire Elite Netball Academy trials with Ellie-Eve Cook-Bell, Isabelle Fisher and Eliza Griffin securing places in the Elite and Advanced groups.
