Local champions the Castlemaine United Cricket Club is inviting new, past and ‘cricket curious’ players to a family-friendly training day this Thursday evening, October 9.
As it looks to build on its premiership successes from last season, the club will field men’s, women’s and juniors’ teams, and also run the popular Cricket Blasters program for kids aged 4 to 10.
With the local season beginning soon, people from Castlemaine and beyond are invited to dust off their bat or come and roll their arm over for the first time.
Based at historic and picturesque Camp Reserve in the heart of town, the Castlemaine United Cricket Club is one of the oldest clubs in Victoria. Established in 1881, it continues today as a fun, inclusive and successful club.
With the footy season over, warm weather around the corner and world cricket’s greatest competition The Ashes set to be summer’s backdrop, it’s the perfect time to get involved.
For those keen to support in other ways, the club is always looking for sponsors to help keep the 144-year-old club a strong and vibrant part of the local community. Thursday’s training session will kick off at 5pm at the Camp Reserve in Forest Street, Castlemaine. All are welcome. For more information about getting involved in the club call 0429 053 159.
