CRICKET CLUB REFLECTS ON SUCCESSFUL SEASON

REPORT BY ROB WILKINSON

Hailsham Cricket Club took over Wellshurst Golf Club with 122 members putting on their best threads to celebrate a memorable season. With members from all the different teams in attendance, the night started off with a gorgeous three-course meal that was followed by Chairman Pete Mills announcing the winners. A couple of the big award winners were Jim Wise who won the Club Person of the year award for all his time and effort in securing the funding and permissions to build the club’s new training facility.

Rob Wilkinson won the Players Player of the year award for scoring 760 league runs and Tommy Walder was presented with a plaque that will be displayed on a bench at the ground. Given to him for 25 years of service to the club on the cricket square, the club have formally named the far end of the ground the “Tommy Walder End”.

We were then very fortunate to have the amazing Reece J Disco & Photobooth in attendance as the members danced and drank the night away. The perfect way to celebrate an extraordinary season that saw the club celebrate winning two league titles and two cup competitions.

We are actively looking for new players of all ages and abilities (male & female) to join the club for the 2023 season, you may be new to the area or fancy a change of scenery. Get in touch by email with the club (Hailshamcc@outlook.com) to see if we could offer you the cricket and social environment you are looking for.
