The news we’ve all been waiting for.. the one and only Sir Viv puts pen to paper to remain at SRCC! He’ll continue to be on loan at Clevedon but you’ll definitely see a lot of Sir Viv at the midweek games! 👏

We often get criticised in our matches for celebrating too much. Or being too enthusiastic. Just don’t get it. Why can’t players enjoy wickets, runs, catches. Players should be able to express themselves and hav fun otherwise what’s the point!!

@CastleCaryCC
cancelled your fixture on Sunday & now you’re doing a “inter club match”. Please I beg of you, don’t do this to us. We will be at ur beckoning call. I have 42 warriors pacing their living rooms.
Club statement: we deny any accusations that we were responsible for noise at carvynick holiday park last evening. Quite simply it is not in our nature and up keeping with our club values. There will be no further comments at this time.
