East Grinstead
Just Champions
On September the 2nd, East Grinstead won the Sussex Premier League Title for the
first time in the 47 years of the competitions existence, with a game to spare. They also
went on to prove that the first eleven was the equal third best amateur team in the
Country by reaching the Semi-final of the National Royal London Cup.
But the real joy of last season was that our improvement on the field resonated
throughout the club, senior and junior sides alike. The second team held their position
in a newly created, much more competitive league, with both the Thirds and the very
young Fourths guided by a few seasoned cricketers winning promotion, the Thirds as
Champions.
All the junior teams benefitted from our established coaching structure that we
hope to enhance over the winter to enable them to move up from near the top of their
respective competitions and so allow the club to extend the flow of home-grown talent
through into our first elevens of the future.
We couldn’t achieve a ny of this success without our sponsors and supporters and are
grateful for their continued support as we look forward to next season and some more
classy displays from our young set of players as we step out into the middle in search of
more silverware.
