1st Team Wicketkeeper required
We have an opportunity for a 1st team wicketkeeper at Meltham with the departure of El Maltesero to New Zealand. If anybody out there wishes to join a progressive club and develop as a first team wicketkeeper please get in touch or come to the winter nets. We have a very limited budget (i.e. none) but would welcome anybody keen to play first team cricket in a side challenging for promotion with great facilities and opportunities to get in touch.

10th July - Quarter Final
17th July - Semi Final
29th July - Final
The AGM 2012
The annual AGM was held on Tuesday 7th Feb where new committee and officials were voted in. The major area of concern was again the downturn in revenue which means all members should look to recruit sponsors wherever possible or back fundrasising initiatives.
The positives to come out of the meeting were that only Luke Kenworthy has left the club (to live in New Zealand) and we haven't received any official requests from other clubs with respect to our current players. Also the annual expenditure has again been cut to about what some Premiership clubs pay players in a month.
