Jim, the organiser, wanted to share some news about Palmers CC with the sports community. Palmers CC is a welcoming and inclusive cricket club based in Hove, Sussex. It started back in 1983 when a group of friends, unsatisfied with the local cricket offerings, decided to create their own club. Since then, it's grown into a place where everyone feels encouraged to express themselves.
By joining Palmers CC, members can participate in the Sussex Cricket League and SCB South Area Young Cricketers League. The club fields three senior teams, with extras on midweek matches, and an Under 12 youth team. Jim and the team are particularly proud of the youth development programmes that nurture promising young cricketers through coaching and support.
Jim mentions that the club regularly competes in matches with other local clubs, often with impressive outcomes. Recent matches saw victories against teams like Legends XI, Hindu Unity CC, and St Andrews (Burgess Hill) CC, boosting their standing in the Sussex Cricket League.
Palmers CC proudly celebrates their players' achievements. The club’s website has a Hall of Fame section showcasing individual batting and bowling records. For instance, Ted Bloomfield currently holds the top run-scorer position with 410 runs.
The club is grateful for the support from their sponsors, whose contributions are essential for the club's ongoing success. Jim emphasises the importance of fostering a strong community of cricket enthusiasts and extends an open invitation to players of all abilities.
Those interested in joining can easily sign up via an online form on the club's website under the “About Us” section. This section also provides details about the club’s location at Hove Recreation Ground and contact information for club officials. Palmers CC is committed to the privacy and security of its members, adhering to all relevant regulations.
