New (as well as former) players and volunteers welcomed ahead of the 2018 season.

Tong Park Esholt CC would like to welcome and encourage any new recruits to the club for the 2018 season.

We are looking for players of all levels of experience and ability to join us and with 3 senior Saturday teams there is plenty of opportunity for anyone who wishes to enjoy their cricket with us, from 1st XI to 3rd XI levels.

We are also re-launching our junior section under head coach Phil Hiley and are actively seeking children of all ages and cricketing experience. We will be running weekly junior training sessions with league games at age group levels determined by numbers. Our philosophy on the junior section is to encourage as many boys and girls to enjoy the sport and have fun. We will be operating as affordably as possible without tying parents into expensive memberships or kit packages to boost club profits.

We also seek any volunteers who wish to get involved with our club. If you would like to assist maintaining our grounds, planning and developing new social ideas and club functions or you wish to help out in our new junior coaching set-up then we would be delighted to welcome you. We are currently offering to pay the expenses (around £280) of an ECB certified coaching course for anyone who wishes to get involved with coaching our young cricketers.

We are a family friendly club which has undergone a huge transformation since the devastating floods on Boxing Day 2015 which nearly ended the club as a whole. Over £250,000 has been invested into our ground with new practice facilities, a re-laid cricket square and laser levelled outfield, fantastic new drainage facilities as well as improvements to the changing rooms, clubhouse and bar. Off the field we work hard to introduce new social functions including regulars such as the Poker Tournament, Curry & Quiz night, Beer Pong Tournament and Golf Day.

So if you think you'd like to play, volunteer or register your child then please get in touch.
Any senior cricketers or volunteers can contact Martin Wildsmith on tongparkesholtcc@gmail.com whilst junior volunteers or parents wishing to register their child can contact Phil Hiley on philiphiley@hotmail.co.uk. Alternatively you can contact the clubhouse on 01274 587792.
