Cricket is around the corner!
This time next month – subject to the great British weather, we’ll be donning the whites and striding out of the pavilion to play the game we love. Those who have been to the club in recent weeks, will have sensed the eager anticipation for the coming season. We have a smartly refurbished balcony, freshly painted changing rooms (in club colours), a shiny new kitchen, courtesy of great work from Stuart Rolfe and team, and with Mr Doyle weaving his magic our two fines squares are looking resplendent. Bring it on. First home game for the 1s is April 20th, a friendly v Finchley, starting at 1pm.

Team News
Plans are progressing nicely for the coming season with most players indicating they are, once again, looking forward to bearing arms for TPCC. Only major changes in 1’s are David Brent and Liam Gough leaving to go to other clubs. To strengthen the squad, we have signed Steve Clark and Tom Weymes. We have also signed two new younger players in David Burnell and Scott Rolfe, while Nick Grant is coming over from Australia to play for the 2s. A further update from our esteemed Director of Cricket will be provided at the Pre-season Social!

The President’s tax-efficient fundraising campaign: Digital Upgrade

Any donation, no matter how small, will take us a little closer to our target.

New Women and Girl’s section sponsor
