Walking Cricket Comes to Great Yarmouth

25th October 2024

With walking cricket hubs in Norwich and Kings Lynn, the Norfolk Cricket Board are setting their sights on Great Yarmouth being the next.

For five weeks starting on Thursday 21st November, the NCB will deliver FREE Walking Cricket Taster Sessions at the Marina Leisure Centre on the sea front.  The sessions are  12.00-14:00 in the main sports hall.

The sessions have no upper or lower age limit although they are adult sessions. The sessions are fully inclusive to everyone of all abilities and are open to both males and females interested in having a go.

The first five weeks will be free taster sessions, for people to try the game. The NCB will provide all the kit required to play the game, a soft ball will be used with everybody having the chance to bat and bowl in a relaxed environment. The idea is to have 12-16 people attend each week and to play a game of pairs based cricket.  Underarm bowling will be allowed. Sides will be picked from a hat on the day.

The aim of the sessions is to get people back into playing cricket, or for people who want to try it for the first time.  They games will be fun, not too serious and an ideal opportunity for people to meet or make old or new friends.  After, a coffee and a chat will be encouraged.
