WITH the 2019 season fast approaching Penarth Cricket Club will return for pre-season training next week.

Net sessions will be held at All Square Sports on Penarth Rd (behind Hyundai dealership, CF11 8TT) each Wednesday 8pm – 9.30pm from February 20th. All returning and new players will be welcomed.

The Premier League campaign will commence on May 4th with the first team looking to go one better than last season’s second placed finish under the continuing leadership of Tom Sidford.

A largely similar squad, supplemented with some new additions, will expect to compete for promotion in what promises to be a highly competitive division as well as mounting Welsh Cup and T20 challenges.

Meanwhile the second team will be under the new stewardship of Tim Miller as they defend their Premier League title, while Dan Thacker takes over the third team reigns and Andy Prickett continues to perform miracles as 4th XI captain.

All will be hoping to build on the recent growth and success of the club, which also includes a thriving junior section with opportunities for boys and girls from ages 5 - 17.

As always, the club would like to encourage Match Ball Sponsors and other support to assist.

Please contact t.sidford@robsols.co.uk if you can assist with this or for further information on the club.

The club is also looking to recruit a new first team scorer.

Please contact Tom in the same way if you can assist with this.

Winter nets will continue at All Square until moving back home to the Athletic Club during April for outdoor training.
