The club Annual General Meeting will take place in the clubhouse on Saturday 23rd November, commencing at 7pm.

Following his heroics in the World Cup Final, Ben Stokes visited Sandair and was awarded a life membership of the club. Unfortunately the weather was terrible, so no game was played, but the people who turned up to watch were well rewarded as Ben stayed around to sign autographs and pose for photos.

We are delighted to announce that the club has successfully applied to the ECB (England & Wales Cricket Board) for re-accreditation as a Clubmark club. The following statement is from the ECB website:

"ECB Clubmark shows that a club is sustainable, well run and provides the right environment for its members. Clubmark accreditation also means your club is recognised as a safe, rewarding and fulfilling place for participants of all ages, as well as assuring parents and carers that they are choosing the right option for their young people."

Cockermouth Cricket Club has received a grant from the ECB (England & Wales Cricket Board) in recognition of the work done by our wonderful volunteers. This particularly applies to the running of All Stars Cricket (to encourage 5 to 8 year olds) and for the set up of Women's Softball cricket. See the attached certificate which confirms it.

There is now a separate page covering the Women and Girls section. Note there is a special softball festival on Sunday 6th May. Click on underlined link for more information. Note softball training starts this Wednesday 18th April.
