Easy Cricket – The New Way For Adult Participation

What is Easy Cricket?

 

Easy Cricket is more of a concept than a game. As per its title, Easy Cricket is just that – easy!

 

To encourage new people to play cricket and lapsed players to pick up a bat again, the concept is to get people playing within an environment that is familiar and convenient to them.

 

It might be during a lunch break at work or after work. It could be in between lectures at University, or in the park with friends on a weekend, or for parents who are watching their kids play or train at a cricket club?

 

Reginald Mitchell Wins Regional Prize

 

Reginald Mitchell Primary from Kidsgrove won the Regional Finals of the ASDA Girls Kwik Cricket Competition.

 

The school went through to the national finals held on Tuesday 19th July at Derbyshire County Cricket Club.

 

Reginald Mitchell beat teams from Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire and Warwickshire to secure their place in the national finals.

 

Prior to the Regional competition the girls took part in the Staffordshire final (all entrants pictured above) and won all 5 games at Moddershall.
