A huge thank you goes out to the dedicated band of volunteers who gave up their Saturday to ensure Outwood Cricket Club is ready for the season ahead.

From mid morning to mid afternoon, club members rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in. The equipment shed was cleared and kit set up, the bar restocked and ready for thirsty cricketers, and — most excitingly — the nets have been rolled out and are primed for the first outdoor practice sessions of the season.

Keeping spirits high throughout the day, nourishment was on hand to fuel the hard work from morning through to the afternoon.

None of this happens without the quiet dedication of our members.

Thank you all — the club could not do it without you!
