After last nights sensational first Umpiring Skill

After last nights sensational first Umpiring Skills Workshop, as advertised, we are running another session on Thursday, 1st August starting at 6.30pm hosted by City of Ely CC at The Paradise Centre in Ely.

One thing highlighted last night, particularly after the open letter to ALL in the Cambridgeshire Cricketing Community from Russell Doel, is the important relationship and the communication between the umpires and the captains are in managing the game.

The importance of this relationship is sometimes not known or ignored, so we encourage all clubs, who play in League games (senior or junior) where there are no appointed umpires to get someone on this workshop.

This course will again be led by both ECB Tutor Ben Whyall and Chair of Cambs and Hunts Association of Cricket Officials Peter Hinstridge, who are knowledgeable, experienced and bring some fun to the workshop.

By attending you will definitely learn something new, in a relaxed environment.

The workshop is FREE but you must book your place by using the link here - https://booking.ecb.co.uk/NE8R0B

If you are a member of a club located in Hunts and are administered by @cricket_east please feel free to come and join us!

Last night we held a brilliant Umpiring Skills Workshop at the pavilion of @cottenhamcricketclub

ECB Umpiring Tutor Ben Whyall and Cambs and Hunts Association of Cricket Officials Chair Peter Hinstridge used their years of experience to lead 8 willing learners through the basics.

All 8 had Eureka moments through the evening, which saw myths busted and confidence given to allow those present to umpire without fear or favour.

If you have not attended one of these workshops and you umpire 10 overs or so at your club while you play or you umpire Junior or Women’s League games you really should attend one.

The next is at Ely on 1st August, starting at 6.30pm. What this space to book your place.

Thanks also to Louise Vickers of @histoncricket for organising the hall for us to use!

Next week we are running our first Cambridgeshire

Next week we are running our first Cambridgeshire Cricket and Cambridgeshire and Hunts Association of Cricket Officials (CHACO) mid-season Umpiring Skills Workshop at Cottenham Village Hall.

Running this mid-season will allow all parents helping out their clubs in the CYCA or County Age Group by standing for a few overs but not really knowing the key laws, this will also benefit all CCA Clubs who have team members standing for 10 overs and give them confidence to umpire without fear or favour and will definitely benefit every women playing in the either the Cambridgeshire Hard or Soft Ball Leagues to learn a bit more about the rules and give confidence to stand in a game to help your club.

This workshop, presented by Ben Whyall, will last a maximum of two and a half hours and will be full of practical hints and tips.

To book your place please use this link - https://booking.ecb.co.uk/VVwLVn

If you are unable to make this workshop we will be running another at Ely on 1st August, keep your eyes peeled.

Our next Winter Wonders Award is an Outstanding Achievement.
It goes to Longstanton Grasshoppers Cricket Clubs Junior Committee.
In late September the club had organised early winter nets to start in October. The problem was two weeks in their Coach had not attended and the club were faced with a choice of find a coach or cancel the sessions and disappoint the 25 or so youngsters who had subscribed to the sessions.
Step forward Iain Malthouse, who approached Cambs Cricket to see if we could help.
Not only was a Coach found, but working with our Cricket Development team, the Club were keen to "Grow their own!" Coaching team.
As a result, during the winter a number of members and parents attended various ECB Coach Development Courses run by Cambridgeshire Cricket and the Club now has a healthy number of both Core and Foundation Coaches, who, on a Friday night delivering high quality coaching to nearly 80 local children.
By using the "grow your own" concept, the club are now set not only for this season, but for many seasons to come.
So moving from a bad or sad situation in October to where there are now the Club have worked hard and are really achieving good things.
Well done to all of the Committee and Coaches on achieving a major turn around which is providing instant benefit!

Club Cricket is a summer sport, we all know that,

Club Cricket is a summer sport, we all know that, but what most players forget is that in the autumn and winter a small number of volunteers in Clubs are squirrelling away to make sure the following season is brighter than the one before. In Cambridgeshire we live to value and say thank you to these volunteers via our Winter Wonders Awards.

In the first category of Women and Girls Development congratulations to Lois Hopkins of @marchtowncricketclub women's team The Marvels.

When March Town Cricket Club set up The Marvels in 2021, Lois was one of the first Ladies to join having previously played in the Midlands.

Since the end of the 2023 season Lois worked hard to organise weekly indoor net sessions, which helped develop the Marvels. She has organised the Fixtures, so that both the Hard and Soft Ball format teams play both League and friendlies. Lois has helped recruit new players and on top of that organises March Town Cricket Club social media pages, where she does an amazing job.

The objective of March Town Cricket Club, when setting up the Marvels was to create a bright and sustainable Women and Girls section. The work of Lois over the past couple of seasons creates optimism that the objective will become a long term reality!

Cracking job Lois, congratulations and thank you!
