The talk is of drought and hosepipe bans, while the rain falls incessantly, so obviously it is the start of the cricket season and time for cricket to be taking its usual part in making the English summer special. Brewood Cricket Club are looking forward to new challenges after winning Division 3 of the Birmingham Premier League. The Firsts secured promotion in their penultimate match, and sealed the league title by winning their final match at home to Penn.
The other teams were mostly comfortably mid-table in their various leagues, though the Thirds had to bounce back from a points deduction and had a few anxious moments with relegation threatening! The Fourths continued to be competitive in Division 4 and finished a creditable fifth. Since they are a very young team, albeit reinforced with experience, and often playing against other clubs' adult and first teams, there is plenty to be proud of. The Seconds ended seventh, but will be most pleased that when called upon for the Firsts, players performed well. Onwards and upwards!
There is a tremendous spirit within the club particularly since the vast majority of our players are "home-grown", having risen through the ranks from the Juniors.
Brewood CC has adopted a policy of opening up to the public in recent years and a warm welcome is extended to all who have an interest in this most esoteric and beautiful of sports. If you want to play – at almost any level, support or just watch in the sun with a glass or two of the legendary local Morton’s Ale, you are most welcome. Though if you want to see where the true strength of the club lies, come along on a Tuesday or Thursday evening in the summer and see the juniors learning the game.
