This is a good place to keep up to date with the results & fixtures of our opponents in the Rutland League & to keep an eye on the leading run scorers & wicket takers in the league.
We are now a ECB Focus Club & are currently undergoing the process to gain ECB ClubMark accreditation whereby we will have demonstrated that we are fully equipped in every sense to look after youngsters and promote cricket to the youth of the community.
As most of you will know by now the club is looking towards the future & hoping to buy & develop a new ground of our own. At present our club is on Uppingham School property & although we still have a very good relationship with the school & have had over the many years that we have been tenants, the fact remains that we could be asked to leave at very short notice & as the school continues to prosper & grow we feel that this is increasingly likely.
The club buildings are now starting to get well past their best would cost us a lot of money to update (the work needed to repair the changing rooms a couple of seasons ago cost over 5k) & the school won't allow us to have a permanent (brick built) building so we are limited to wooden, portakabin type structure. Although this is going to cost an awful lot of money we feel that it is almost a case of now or never. Due to the amount of games that we are playing in a season & that we are trying to further develop our junior & youth cricket sides we are looking to have ground that would have two playing areas with a 12 wicket square & an 8 wicket square.
On 13th December planners at Rutland County Council backed our request to turn the agricultural land into two pitches & the plans received unanimous support.
More updates soon.
