The inaugural Walton Junior Smash is making its debut at Ashley Park this August Bank Holiday Weekend.
Taking inspiration from the hugely successful Senior Smash, players from U11-U14 age groups have been drafted to 4 teams.
The Panthers, Badgers, Swans and Turtles will contest 2 semi-finals on Friday 23 August from 4-8pm.
Finals Day on Sunday 25-August will see a 3rd/4th place play-off and the Final from 9am – 1pm ahead of Round 3 of the Senior Smash.
Panthers: Josh Lavery (C); Luke Baker; Joe Ferguson; Hunter Baard; Xavier Mianza; Adam Povey (WK); Harry Breatnach; Bastian Kietzman; Malachy Phillips
Badgers: Nathan Maher-Edwards (C); Joe Longworth; Ben Everitt; Romanuddin Aryobi; Henry Haines (WK); Zayden Patel; Henry Ferguson; Sam Smith; Freddie Boulton
Swans: Sammy Richards (C); Billy Breatnach; Sloan Kemp; Oliver Hooper-Paul; Zac Robinson; Dean Hunter (WK); Oliver Dormer; Rayen Prema; Harry King
Turtles: Ozzy Reynolds (C); Fred Owen (WK); Jamie Davies; Bailey Pledger; Theo Hodges; Ben Armstrong; Troy Kemp; Jamie Wheeler
Team Managers will be announced in due course.
The format will be 10 overs per side for a fast-flowing, free-hitting, wickets tumbling festival of all the best that Walton Junior Cricket has to offer. I think we can predict at least one crazy run-out thrown in for good measure! More details of rules and playing conditions will be issued to players/parents through Spond.
Bar and BBQ will be open Friday evening and Cafe Sunday morning. Please come along and support your local club and the boys. Why not also hang around for the Senior Smash with bar and BBQ on Sunday. What else could you possibly want to do with your August Bank Holiday weekend?
We look forward to seeing you there. Any questions, additional players and offers of help on the day please contact Gareth Maher-Edwards (U14 Manager).
