ACC ARCHIVED NEWS - 2025

We had a great day at ACC where some of our key sponsors, invited guests, and players were treated to afternoon tea.

Thankyou to Janet, Maggie, Hilary and Ray for the afternoon teas, the guests and players thoroughly enjoyed them.

In the match break of the 2nd XI v Worksop CC, the president of the Bassetlaw league,  Robin Rhodes, officially opened our brand new scorers hut, with help from our 2nd XI captain Kalyan, 2nd XI scorer Kirsty, and Steph from our main sponsor, Source My Mortgage.

Thankyou to our volunteers who designed, procured and built the first ever ACC scorers hut and made it happen - Howard, Phil B, Gav, Alan and Phil H.

Many thanks also to Ashley for cleaning the clubhouse, Clare for running the raffle, all the bar staff, and everyone else who helped make the day a success.

On 10th December new Club President Maggie Lound warmly welcomed members and guests to the annual Carols Evening in the Club.

What a fantastic evening - a free festive supper was served to a packed club room. The Worksop Miners Welfare Band entertained everyone and accompanied the singing of traditional carols and Christmas songs.

Maggie presented the band with a cheque for £130 from the Club.

She thanked all the volunteers who had made the evening possible.

Saturday 18 October saw members and guests gathered at The Resource Centre in Dinnington for the Club’s Gala Night Presentation of Prizes.

Cups and caps were awarded for the best batting, bowling and fielding in every team including Under 18s.

Ryan Staniland won The Most Promising Young Cricketer Award for 2025, and Nathan Crookes won the coveted Stuart Walton Award.

The Hubert Wyatt Award for meritorious service to the Club was presented to Clare Walshaw.

Everyone enjoyed a great disco evening and the excellent food provided by Darren Crookes and his team.

Outgoing President Janet King warmly welcomed the new Club President Maggie Lound and presented her with the official Chain of Office.

A huge thankyou to everyone who helped with organisation of the event.

A fantastic afternoon showcasing the opportunity for younger girls cricket.

Sunday 31 August saw Anston play host to lots of young girls playing in mixed softball teams - a fantastic day for the girls and their families. Girls came from Bradfield in Sheffield and Aston as well as many girls from Anston.

It was a really well organised day by Judith Townsend, Junior Coaching Lead, along with her huge team of volunteers.

Ground preparation, umpiring, scoring, bar, refreshments, barbecue and raffle all helped to make this a special day for so many young girls.  Well done everyone.

Jake Richards MP came along to lend his support which was much appreciated.

Many thanks

Janet King
