An indoor net for 2010

We have an indoor net practice at Mary Erskine School Sports Centre on Thu 29th Apr from 6-8pm. Subsidised cost to attendees will be £4. The club will supply pads, bats, gloves and so on, just come wearing suitable sports gear if you don't have cricket kit.

For those who cannot attend but feel they need practice or would have liked to try things out before being flung into the competitive maelstrom of parks' evening cricket, there is often a chance to bowl or bat in the nets at Newfield before or during any home fixtures that we have there. Just don't wear spikes or else the groundsman will be after you. If you'd like to avail yourself of that opportunity, let us know whenever you get an invitation to a match at Newfield and we'll see what we can do.

Pre-season 2009

For the social cricketers amongst us, a necessary evil is at hand. It's time for a couple of pre-season nets.

Nets may cause both physical pain and mental anguish as we realise the effortless strokes we've watched all winter on Sky Sports (if you're lucky enough to have a subscription) and imagined replicating as our own season rolls around, remain but a dream compared to the swish and miss reality. Likewise, for bowlers, there is less exploration of the "corridor of uncertainty" and more random distribution across a three-lane "motorway of mediocrity."

Still, if you're not playing regular cricket, an indoor net is a good way of getting the stiffness over early and re-introducing yourself to the rudiments of the game and your team-mates.

The net practices will be held indoors at Mary Erskine Sports Centre in Mary Erskine School at Ravelston on the evenings of Tuesday 21st and 28th April from 6-8pm. Your attendance is encouraged and will likely cost you around £4 per session. Keep an eye on the calendar for forthcoming fixtures and contact us if you are going to attend either or both net session.
