RETURN TO CRICKET - STEP 3

Torrisholme CC • May 16, 2021

Return to cricket - Step 3 (including changes to junior training times)

As things continue to move towards normality from Monday (17th May), coupled with the start of our junior fixtures, we are making you aware of a few changes we are able to make now further restrictions will be lifted...

Spectators: We can now welcome spectators to Boundary Meadow, even without taking hospitality. Spectators are now free to sit and watch the games in front of the clubhouse and around the boundary. Spectators can now also bring their own foldaway chairs to games.

The Bar: The bar can now welcome and serve customers indoors again, with tables indoors limited to groups of 6 or two households. Chairs and tables will be arranged inside the clubhouse to accommodate this, please do not move tables from their set locations.  

Changing Rooms: Under ECB guidelines we are now in a position to re-open changing rooms. However the committee feel that due to the lack of opening windows in the changing block we should allow access to the changing rooms for senior fixtures ONLY at present. Senior players should, where possible, limit the amount of players accessing the changing rooms at any one time. 

Senior Cricket Teas: Although the ECB guidance now allows teas to be provided, the Palace Shield took the decision that they would not expect clubs to serve teas this season. Therefore all senior players and visiting teams are still expected to provide their own food for the interval. 

Junior Training Changes: The committee feels we can’t fully move to the “big junior Friday nights” just yet. However to help accommodate junior fixtures the Under 9 & Under 11 Softball groups, plus the Under 16’s (who don’t play regular senior cricket) will all move from Wednesday night training, to join alongside the Girls Hardball group on a Friday nights. Training time's will remain the same to help the flow of the car park. Under 11 Hardball and Under 13 Hardball will remain training on Monday Nights for the time being.

Monday's
Under 11 Hardball & Under 13 Hardball 6.30pm - 8pm

Friday's
Under 9 Softball & Under 11 Softball 6pm - 7.30pm
Under 16's Hardball 6.30pm - 8pm
Girls Hardball 6.30pm - 8pm

Junior Fixtures: Are now available to view on the club website either by team https://www.torrisholmecc.co.uk/junior-fixtures/2021 or you can see our full schedule of all junior and senior fixtures via the calendar page https://www.torrisholmecc.co.uk/calendar 

Junior Matches: Junior players arriving for junior matches (home and away teams) should still use the cordoned off ‘team zones’ beside the netting bay, as per Step 2. 

PLEASE NOTE: The above updates maybe unique to Torrisholme CC and players and parents are reminded that restrictions may be different at other clubs we visit.

Match Ball Sponsorship 2024

by Joe Hansson • 23 Jan, 2024
We are once again looking for match ball sponsors for the forthcoming 2024 season. Become a Match Ball Sponsor for just £25.00 per game and support our club. Last season we spent over £1,700 on match balls across our senior sides and any sponsorship we can get in goes a long way to covering this cost. Balls are priced at £25.00 per game and sponsors will get coverage on the day of their specific match where they will feature on the club’s social media feeds and also on our club sponsor boards every week. Sponsors can include local businesses as well as families and individuals. All players are encouraged to make their best effort to get at least one match ball sponsor each. We cannot stress to our supporters enough how important fundraising like this is. If you would like to sponsor a match ball for the coming season you can do so by clicking HERE choosing from the remaining 1st XI and 2nd XI fixtures and making your payment. Along with social media posts, your name or business will be added to our Senior Fixture page under the relevant fixture. For any questions or queries please contact joe@torrisholmecc.co.uk #WeAreTCC

Junior Presentation Evening

by Mark Drinkall • 11 Sept, 2023
The 2023 Junior Presentation Night was very well attended and we were blessed with a lovely night. The event started with the inauguration of a handsome bell and plaque in memory of much missed club umpire Malcolm Porter , his son Ashley and family were present to ring the bell in Malc's memory and a moving moment was witnessed by well over a hundred players, parents and coaches. Once again Aussie overseas Matt Cline was guest of honour, Matt is returning to Australia after the season and, unfortunately, he doesn't plan to return next year. He has become a friend to many at the club as well as being a wonderful player, we all wish him the very best for his future life and cricket back down under. Virtually all the prize winners were present at the event and the league winning Under 11 Hardball squad received their trophy from Matt. The Junior Clubman of the Year, or Lockwood Trophy as it is known, was once again awarded to long serving coach and player Sean McGuigan . Thanks to all who supported the junior section through another busy Summer, to groundsman Eddy Bayton for preparing all those wickets and to the bar team who kept us 'hydrated' through the season.
