| Junior Section |
The junior section was started in 1993 by Don and Annette Jones and has steadily grown over the years. Young people are welcome from the ages of seven to sixteen and we have qualified coaches at all levels. Juniors meet on Monday evenings between 6.00 and 8.00pm for coaching and there are regular matches in the East Surrey Colts League at under 9, 11, 12, 13, and 15 age levels. We have an agreement with the Newdigate Endowed Church of England Infants School whereby we run an 'introduction to cricket' course on the Brocus for six weeks during the summer term and we have a similar arrangement at the Weald Church of England Primary School and St. John's Community School in Dorking.
We work very closely with Surrey County Cricket Club and recommend promising players to the county and every year eight juniors are selected for special coaching at the Surrey Cricket Centre under the Russell Haigh Bursary. We have a presentation evening when trophies are presented at each age group, often by a well known cricket celebrity. We have two recently refurbished nets, an artificial pitch, a bowling machine, Flicx wickets, cricket mats and catching cradles and equipment such as bats, pads, helmets etc.
We also take a group to the Oval to see at least one first class match as guests of the County. Coaching night has also developed into a social evening for parents who can often be seen sitting under the trees and catching the last of the evening sunshine with a cool glass of wine.
