Broxbourne CC
Competitive and friendly cricket for all standards
Broxbourne Cricket Club looks forward with optimism to the 2010 season, aiming to build on the previous two campaigns that resulted in promotions for both the Saturday and Sunday league teams.
The club will enter four teams into the Saracens Hertfordshire Cricket league and two teams into the Sunday Chess Valley League, as well as playing additional Sunday cup and friendly cricket.
The growth of the club has allowed a number of cricket-oriented developments to complement facilities that are among the best in the county. Winter training is held at the state-of-the-art HECC cricket centre on Sundays between 7-8pm. Five lanes, video technology and a full-time grade-three coach provides a platform for players to genuinely improve their games, be that with bat, ball, in the field or sport-specific fitness. The same structure is used in the summer where training is held at the Cricket Club on Tuesday nights from 6.30pm -8.30pm, as well as Thursday evenings.
The 1st X1 will be captained by Alex Hislop, who will be aiming to build on a successful 2009 season in division two with a strong senior squad. Dan Smith will lead the newly-promoted 2XI into division five, with Mark Smith taking the 3XI reigns in division nine. Chris Rosser will lead the 4XI in division 13.
Complementing the senior teams is the club's thriving colts junior section, with over 120 players in squads at U11, U13 and U15 age groups. In the 2010 season the club will have sides competing in the Herts Junior Leagues at each age group from U9's up to U16's, and there are also friendly games.The club's youth policy is bearing fruit with many now playing in the East Area teams within the county. Some nine members of the 2009 season's 1XI came through the colts sections.
Established since 1848, Broxbourne CC boasts cricketing facilities that are among the best in the county. These include two recently re-laid squares, covers, a purpose-built electronic score-box, bowling machine, sight screens mobile and static nets, as well as excellent changing, shower and bar facilities.
