Winter Nets

Winter nets start on 18th February (Thursday), 6-7pm, at Preston College, St Vincents Road Fulwood. These times will be for February, with a possible later time for March. Cost as last year will be £3 a night, and we have got 2 lanes. It is really important that these are well attended, not only for fitness / sharpness with the bat and ball, but also it gets everyone together.

Junior Nets will be at Tulketh High on a Friday 7-8pm starting on 5th Feb, again £3 a night. Our Junior section is really important to us, so we hope attendance is high.
