Saturday 19th September saw us come together for one of the most cherished events in our calendar – our Junior Presentation Evening.

A Night That Showcased Our Club Values

Beyond the trophies and certificates, the evening highlighted what makes St Chad’s Broomfield such a special place: community, inclusivity, development and joy in cricket. Seeing players cheer for one another, celebrate each other’s achievements, and enjoy the evening with their families was a reminder of why we invest so much in our junior programme.

Thank You to Our Volunteers

A club cannot thrive without its volunteers, and our junior section is powered by an exceptional group of people who give their time, energy and expertise week after week.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to:

• Team managers – for supporting players and keeping everything running smoothly
• Coaches – for developing skills, confidence and passion in every child
• Umpires and scorers – for ensuring our matches are played fairly and in the right spirit
• Café staff – for creating a welcoming matchday experience
• Ground staff and behind the scenes volunteers – whose unseen work keeps our facilities and operations running to a high standard

Your contribution is invaluable, and the success of our junior section is built on your dedication.

Thank You to Our Junior Shirt Sponsors

We are proud to acknowledge the support of two organisations whose generosity strengthens our junior pathway and helps our young players feel part of something special.

• Chick fil A – Junior Shirt Sponsor Their three year commitment to our junior playing shirts has ensured that children across all age groups wear high quality, professional kit at a low cost to families. This support has helped build identity, pride and togetherness throughout the junior section.
• JP Wild – Girls’ Shirt Sponsor Over the past two years, JP Wild’s sponsorship has played a key role in the growth of our women and girls’ cricket. Their backing has helped create a strong, confident and united squad, and we are deeply grateful for their continued support of female cricket at the club.

We thank both organisations for investing in grassroots sport and for believing in the positive impact cricket can have on young people.

Looking Ahead

With the 2026 season now concluded, we look forward with excitement to 2027. Our junior players continue to inspire us, and we remain committed to providing a safe, supportive and ambitious environment for every child who wears the maroon and gold.
