The club is now one of the largest adult playing sections in Essex putting out 8 or 9 teams every Saturday during the summer. The colt's section is also one of the largest in Essex, having over 220 members, between the ages of 6 and 16 and provides a safe and enjoyable space for both boys and girls.

The exponential growth of the club also means that our practice facilities get increasingly used, and need regular care and attention, and sometimes replacement of our training facilities such as the outdoor nets.

As a result, we are attempting to raise around £5,000 to help relay the outdoor nets which are in desperate need of replacement.

The club have obtained grants to assist with this however sadly this will not cover the entire cost of the refurbishment, and a large amount of the money needed will have to be paid for and raised by the club itself. The nets are an important part of the everyday development for all members of the club during the season hence this repair is needed urgently to be ready in time for the new season.

If you are able to spare any amount to help the club develop its future playing members, no matter how small, the entire club would be forever grateful. Please see the link below to donate.
