CRICKET CLUB
Stone SP CC is based on Lichfield Road in Staffordshire and their first team
currently competes in the Premier Division of the North Staffs and South Cheshire
League. They are led by the team of Chairman David Pursell and President Russell
Flower and the club is looking to progress under their guidance.
So far this season their first team has put together a
solid league campaign, having compiled a record of five
wins, two draws and seven defeats with their other three
matches being abandoned. This sees them sitting in a
safe mid-table position with 193 points on the board.

This should provide them with a solid platform from
which to build as the season draws to a close. As long
as they are able to retain their current group of players
and can perhaps make one or two quality additions they
should be in with a good chance of pushing on again in
2020.
Stone SP is not a club to focus solely upon their
senior section and this is reflected by the fact that they
also run a number of youth sides. These teams look to
provide young players from the local community with
the opportunity to play the game in a safe and enjoyable
environment.
It is important for any club looking to be successful
over a sustained period of time to be able to produce
their own talent and this is an area they appear to have
covered. It will certainly be exciting to see how their
youngsters can progress in the coming years.
In order to help ensure that they enjoy a smooth
transition into the senior game they also run additional
sides. This allows them to gain experience of adult level
cricket even if they are not yet considered ready for
first team action which can be an important step in the
development process.
Another benefit of running extra sides is that it allows
the first XI to benefit from far greater strength in depth.
If they are ever left short on numbers through injury or
work commitments they have the option of calling up
replacements with a limited amount of disruption.
There is much to admire about the fine set up that
Stone SP CC currently has in place and this is thanks to
all of the hard work that goes into the club. Hopefully
they will continue in the same manner for many years
to come.
