Cliftonville Academy Cricket Club hopes to raise some much-needed funds to continue the development of our club.
When Cliftonville and Academy Cricket Clubs merged in 2017, we set several ambitious goals, including taking our 1st XI from Section 2 at the time to the Premier League within 5-years. We also placed a significant emphasis on developing and expanding a relatively small youth section at the time. We are delighted with this progress in this area and have grown into the largest youth section in the North Belfast Area.
The next stage of the club's strategic development plan is to become both a competitive and sustainable premier league club; reliant on producing and developing its own youth players to become lifelong club members and push the very best to play for the club 1st XI at the highest level of club cricket in the NCU and Ireland.
We also recognise the rapid ascent in popularity of the women's game within the NCU/Ireland and want to establish a women's team for the forthcoming 2023 season.
More specifically, these funds raised will be used in the following areas:
- Improvement of Facilities at Castle Grounds.
- Establish and Grow a Girls & Women's Section within the Club.
- Specialist Paid Coaching for the Junior & Senior Club.
- Specific Training in Smaller Groups for Junior Members.
- Training Equipment for use by Junior & Senior Teams.
- To Fund Coaching Sessions within Primary & Secondary Schools in the Local Area to continue growing the Club & the Game of Cricket.
We thank you in advance for your generousity.
