Saturday Morning Training
Saturday Morning Training Sessions have been running since 1999 when Gary Dove invited boys from the local Primary Schools down to Fort Road Recreation,Expecting about a dozen to turn up, Gary had arranged for a few dads that he knew who played cricket to come down and give him a hand. To his surprise and delight approximately 30 kids attended and so began the present structure as we know it.
