What is the standard of play like?

The club runs 2 regular teams. 2 Saturday XI league sides, the 1st XI play in the first division of the East of Scotland league, which is a feeder league for the Scottish National Cricket League. The 2nd XI are currently playing in Division 5 of the same league. We also occasionaly play Sunday & Midweek games.

We are also looking to begin junior coaching nights on a Monday night for the younger members (aged 6 and above) where they get taught the basic skills and take part in Kwik Cricket.

Is there a chance to have net practice or coaching?

Yes. Before the start of the season, usually in February, March and April, the club holds indoor practice and training sessions. From the end of April to the end of the season, outdoor practice and nets are held at our Riverside Park ground on Monday nights from 6.00pm onwards. Coaching is available on both of these evenings.

It is hoped to start up a Junior practice on a Monday evenings at the ground from end of April onwards at 6.00pm

What equipment do I need?

Whilst most members will have their own equipment, the club has a selection of kit e.g. bats, pads, gloves and so on available for general use, so that you don’t necessarily need to have ‘all the gear’ to get started. All that is expected of you is that you turn up for matches preferably in white or light-coloured sports gear.
