Jack Ritchie, past winner of Cromer’s Rising Star and Junior Cricketer of the year awards was recently awarded Man of the Match for Manly First Grade playing against Easts. Jack scored his first Century for Manly and took the prized wicket of Dave Warner with bowling figures of 2/46 off 13ov.

Congratulations Jack from CCC.

After much excitement and preparation, this week-end sees our youngest and budding future cricket stars in our Kanga teams having their first games for the season at Careel Bay 1 and Beverly Job 1. Have fun kids.

With as much excitement and perhaps a little less preparation our 3 Mens 20/20 teams are having their first games for the season. The games start 3pm at Passmore 1, Passmore 2 and Nolans 4, so head down to support Cromer and see how the big kids swing the bat and ball.
