The 2008 Colts Festival will be held on Sunday 6th July (U-10/11 from 10am to 12; U-13/15/17 from 1pm on). Please contact Peter Brandreth (07947 063159) if you'd like to take part - it's always a very amusing day for all the colts who play against each other.
Under 10 and 11s
All welcome on Sunday morning. Be at the club at 9.30am. Matches on the artificial strip and on the outfield. Finish at approximately 12 noon.
There is a barbeque planned for the evening from 5pm – weather permitting.
Full pre-season details including training nights, colts' age qualification dates, fees, colts festival etc are available in this pre-season letter.
To try and make the process of signing up Brentham Colts a bit more streamlined, there'll be an Enrolment evening on Thursday 17th April 2008 at the Club (between 7-9 pm). A chance for players and parents to get the paperwork out of the way, meet the coaches (and each other), and generally natter about the season to come.
Dates for the beginning of outdoor coaching sessions for 2008 are as follows:
U10 - 29th April
U11 - 22nd April
U13 - 23rd April
U15 - 21st April
U17 - 24th April
(all sessions begin at 6.45pm)
Once again a 4th XI side, set up to give as many young players as possible an early experience of senior cricket, will run in 2008. The side will again play on Saturdays in Division 5 of the 1987 league and will be led by Mark Saggers. Please get in touch with him on 07941 438376 or at marksaggers@hotmail.com if you are interested!
Sahil Patel from the under 13's was a major part of the reason that London Borough of Ealing won the London Youth Games Cricket Cup for the first time at Lords on March 10.
Throughout the qualifying tournament at Harrow, down to bowling the final over in the Lords final against Brent, Sahil performed superbly and held his nerve well in a few nerve-wracking positions.
Players from Perivale and Ealing CC's also played in this annual tournament.
