Little Stoke Bowling Club

It has long been an ambition of Little Stoke Cricket Club to have its own bowling green as many of our present and former members are bowlers.

This year has seen the opening of the new bowling green and the members have flocked to join our fledging club. Many new members have joined along with former cricketers, still wishing to be part of our cricket club.

Any day you can witness bowlers playing from 9.00am in the morning until dusk. Often bowlers have impromptu games but the core of play is league matches. These are highlighted on the notice board outside The Bowls Pavilion.

If you are interested to join our club please just come along and register your interest.

Making A Difference

At the start of this season Little Stoke adopted The England and Wales Cricket Board's Player Pathway; this represents a major step forward for Little Stoke's young players and gives them a clear view of how to become a successful young player.

This is a clear statement that we intend to develop our own players of the future. Such as been the success of this move is that in 2008 we have seen 27 pictured below, of our squad members play representative cricket a fantastic achievement by all.

The Pathway recognizes the talented young player at an early age would be as young as 11 or 12. Then by taking the player into one of Little Stoke's Emerging Players Squads he or she is exposed to quality coaching from the best coaches available.

This is a huge leap forward for the youngsters at Little Stoke the club where young talent is first recognized then improved on, further developed and encouraged to reach achievable goals until the player can clearly see their future playing ambitions.
The Players of The Future

History of Little Stoke Cricket Club

Little Stoke Cricket Club was formed in 1946. Early records show that the club came into existence when Aston by Stone Cricket Club, who was a club with a ground but no players after the war and The Christchurch Cricket Club who had players but no ground, joined forces.

A meeting at Aston Village Hall on 14th January 1946 brought Little Stoke Cricket Club into existence. Take a trip down menory lane and look at our clubs captains, players, professionals and the many members who have all been part of Little Stoke Cricket Club since that January night in 1946.Pictured here in 1953 members extending the square, lead by Sid Jenkins in middle of photograph.

There is a feature on who was Sid Jenkins which is worth a visit, plus other details. Recently included is an artical called The Day of Disaster, which witnessed the darkest day in the club's history!
