Fri 17th March V


isions of men in white, on flat green fields, matches lasting days, shouts of “Howzat?” and complicated rules? Those days


are long gone - thankfully. Cricket has evolved and in 2017 is an exciting and fun summer sport. It has gained popularity due to the recent success of the national team on the international stage. It is still a relatively small sport in Ireland, but that’s some- thing North Kildare Cricket Club is hoping to change.


ST. PATRICK’S DAY AT IMAGINOSITY Bring the family along to Imaginosity this St.Patrick’s Day, and join the celebrations as we will be hosting a family parade for everyone to get involved in, during each session. Further information available at www. imaginosity.ie

STORYTELLING SESSION WITH BRENDAN NOLAN


With summer coming, the club has started an initiative to bring “fun-sized” cricket to primary school children in the local area. A number of schools have accepted free cricket coaching. Cricket Ireland qualified coaches play simple and fun games in the schools to help children understand the game of cricket, culmi- nating in a blitz day at the club. The aim is to develop a love for the game – a love that will last a lifetime!


Cricket allows children not just to develop individual physical skills, required for batting, bowling and fielding, but also life skills such as being a team player, leadership, hospitality and inclusion. Children learn how to win, lose and how to overcome setbacks. North Kildare CC is the only club in County Kildare with junior teams and has a number of u-18 players who represent Leinster in national and international matches.


North Kildare CC is developing into the first fully inclusive cricket club in Ireland, by providing adaptive cricket sessions (for those who need a little extra time to get used to new things, people and places) and table cricket (indoor for disabled and non- disabled) on Friday evenings throughout the summer from June 2nd 2017. For more information on this please contact Naomi at naomi.scotthayward@gmail.com.


North Kildare CC is holding a free Open Day on Tuesday April 4th 2017 starting from 18.30. Girls and boys of all abilities, aged 5 and over are very welcome. There will be plenty of games to give the children a taste of cricket, a balloon raffle and early bird registration. Why not give it go?


North Kildare CC (www.northkildarecc.hitscricket.com) is located on the Maynooth Road in Kilcock.
