Cricket at our Club is growing faster than ever — more teams, more juniors, more fixtures, and more opportunities for people to get involved. To keep our cricket thriving, we’re looking to expand our team of scorers and umpires across both senior and junior cricket.

Whether you’re a parent, player, supporter, or someone who simply loves being part of the local community, there’s a place for you.

Become a Scorer

The ECB offers a free online scoring course, perfect for anyone who wants to support our senior sides or help out at junior matches while watching their son or daughter play.

• Scorers can earn up to £35 per senior match
• Most scoring is now digital (laptop, tablet, or phone) — quick to learn and great fun
• Prefer the traditional scorebook? That’s absolutely fine too
• A brilliant way for young people to get involved and build confidence

If you enjoy being close to the action and contributing to the team, scoring is one of the most rewarding roles in the game.

Become an Umpire

Our leagues have asked us to highlight the opportunities available for new umpires — and there’s never been a better time to give it a go.

The ECB’s free introductory umpiring course is ideal for:

• Senior players who want to deepen their understanding of the game
• Junior parents who may be asked to assist during matches
• Anyone who enjoys being part of cricket and wants to support the sport locally

For those who want to take it further, our senior leagues are actively recruiting umpires:

• Earn up to £45 per weekend match (more if officiating alone)
• Midweek leagues offer up to £25 per game
• Full training and support available

Umpiring is a fantastic way to stay involved, give back, and help ensure cricket remains fair, fun, and well‑run for everyone.

Whether you’re 13 or 73, new to cricket or a lifelong fan, your contribution makes a huge difference. Come and be part of the team that keeps our club moving forward.
