The under 17`s wrapped up their season with a well attended presentation evening held at the club house. Emphasis was made on just how much of the team's success over the year was down to the squad as a whole. The team were delighted to be joined on the evening by Steve Cooper who will be coaching next seasons under 17`s, Steve was on hand to present the awards. It was great that both Richard Walker, first team manager and Keith Taylor second team captain also attended, this I think was a reflection on the positive input made this season by players from the under 17`s to the senior teams. A selection of pictures from the event can be found in the Gallery here.
Junior Cricket Practice
14 November 2011
Carlton will be starting 2 new junior teams in the 2012 season at U9 and U11 age groups. The U9s will play non-competitive softball matches, group festival cricket and participate in a 'knockout' cup competition all organised by the Heavy Woollen District Junior Cricket League (HWDJCL). The U11 team will play hard ball cricket in the HWDJCL and participate in their own cup competition.
Coaching for the 2 new teams starts on 5 January 2011 at one of our indoor venues, Rodillian School, Wakefield, WF3 3PS. The U9 practice session will run from 18:30-19:30 and the U11 team will train alongside our U13 team from 19:30-20:30. As we must meet the correct ratios for coaches and children we do need you to register your interest in attending before this date rather than just turning up on the night.

The Carlton Under 17`s rounded off their season in fine style winning their last five games to finish in a very creditable fourth position in the Heavy Wollen League. The team improved throughout the season winning seven and losing three matches, only one game was rained off and we had to concede the away fixture at Ossett.
The team was competitive despite exams, Rugby tours, South American expeditions, proms, driving tests, work, holidays and even football in July affecting players availability. The squad coped well and many thanks must go to the players from the under 15 team who filled in admirably on many occasions. Eighteen players were used in total.
On Saturday 18th June the 1st XI have no game due to the demise of Woodkirk CC from the CYCL. We are taking this opportunity to raise funds for the Yorkshire Cancer Centre and the Carlton CC junior section at the Club. From 5pm there will be a Cricket Fun Day on the field with the juniors and their parents entertaining us with some cricket related events. Bar B Q food will be on sale before heading into the evenings entertainment from 8pm where we move into the Marquee for a Tribute to Elvis provided by the mercurial Jimmy Holmes and Karaoke. The event is free and is open to everyone (members and non-members) and no ticket is required, just turn up on the night. We will be running a tombola and raffle throughout the event to raise funds with some great prizes. Your donations of raffle and tombola prizes will be gratefully accepted, please just drop them into the Club.
