Wellington Cricket Club

I am delighted to be able to announce that Mark Salter is now a fully qualified UKCC Level One coach following his participation and success in a four session course over the third and fourth weekends in January.

Mark will bring his newly acquired skills and techniques to the Club in general and in particular to the Under 11s which is the side that he manages.

We now have five qualified coaches in the Club with Mark, Richard Short, Martin Ellacott, Les Reed and Paul Short all able to act in this respect.

Our young coaches James Bath, George Hooper and Sam Murdock are going to be undergoing similar as part of their college studies; thus further strengthening our coaching capacity going forward.

We have a Ground Works session set for Sunday 12th February at Wellington Playing Field; there will be plenty to do so a good number of Club members are asked to give up a few hours to assist with the work required.

Contact Simon Rudd or Richard Henwood for details.

Our pre-season will be split between traditional skills practice and fitness and endurance training as was outlined by Club Captain Paul Short at the recent AGM; when sessions have been booked their details will be posted on this site and notified via e-mail.

We have six matches before the SCL season begins on Saturday 5th May; we visit Trull, Taunton Deane and Exeter and host North Perrott, Bridgwater (Sunday League game) and Street over the last three weekends in April.

The Exeter match on Saturday 21st April will be a social event too.

We welcome Paul Rowlandson and Des Campbell to the Club as Youth Section Managers for the 2012 season; Paul will manage the Under 13s side and Des the Under 15s continuing the excellent work that Martin Ellacott and Richard Short have done in recent seasons.
