A very warm welcome to our information section for junior members. Horton Kirby Cricket Club is ClubMark accredited and is a focus club.

Our Colts are very important to the present and future success of the club and they learn their cricketing skills in a safe, friendly environment. Juniors are welcome from age 5 to 17. They begin by playing Kwik Cricket with a soft ball and may enter Super mini 8’s tournaments (Under 9). Emphasis is on fun, developing hand eye coordination and learning cricketing skills.

In 2011 we have entered an under 15's and two under 13's teams in the North Kent Junior League, an under 12 team into the Harry Bright Cup and an under 11's team in the North Kent Junior League. Our older colts have now progressed into the senior teams. We also have a mini super 8's team (under 9). A number of our young players are also involved with their respective district cricket teams.

When they are considered ready, juniors can be selected to play in the senior teams. In 2011 our under 15 colts are playing  in the 1st X1 and 2nd X1 teams. They are regarded as valued and talented members of the teams and the product of the excellent coaching they have received at the club.

Coaching at winter nets has just started at the Leigh Academy. Summer training starts in April 2011 at the club - See coaching times. We are really looking forward to welcoming new juniors to net practices and training sessions.

If you would like to become a junior colt you can phone Dane Bull the junior head coach (07930163232) or email d4nebull@yahoo.com for further information.
