All-Stars and the Weekend Double-Header

An exciting weekend awaits Mill Hill Road.

All-Stars is Back

The beloved All Stars programme is back with a bang. Every year we're blown away with the reception we get from this programme, with parents signing their kids up faster each year. It's perhaps almost as tough as getting a Taylor Swift ticket! (almost). The programme hosting U9s - U11s begins tonight at 6pm. Car parking is available on site and everything opens from 5:30pm. Please try not to arrive earlier than this, although we're keen to see you, we might still be setting up!

Saturday Fixtures

The first week of the year where all four teams are in action! The First XI have one major change heading into the weekend, with the skipper Cam unavailable to play, Tom Crawford last yearsClub Captain will take the reins for the weekend. Hopefully he can conjure some of the great energy from last years final few games of the season and continue on with Cam's great start to his tenure. After a great knock last weekend, Harry Wilkes will be stepping up to fill his shoes at the top of the order. It won't be a tall ask for Harry however, the last time he was called up he scored his maiden 50 for the 1st XI.

The 2s remain at home this weekend to play Aigburth. The squad although changing quite a bit again this week, have stayed strong with reliable batting and excellent fielding. Catches win matches s they say, Irby 2s have not disappointed. In the side this week are a few new faces... Bruno Jones steps up from the 3s whilst Matt Garret makes his first start of the season along with Ishan De Silva.

With that being said, the strengthening of the 2nd XI could only mean we have another strong week for the 3rd XI. After their gap week, they're looking to hit the ground running once more. Asad Ali and Chris Davidson enter to add strength to both bowling and batting. Rohith and son Arjun are promoted from the 4th XI after Rohith's stunning display with the ball last week. We also have first games of the year from Jay and Rich where just like Asad and Chris, will add strength to both batting and bowling.

​The 4th XI have experienced the most change. Primarily in their batting department we'll see Kian Bough lead a strong and experienced side to face Northern's 5th XI away. Star of the midweek T20 James Miles will be featured in the batting lineup along with the skipper himself. Max Thompson also continues his good form with ball and bat.

Sunday First XI Cup

To round off the weekend the 1st XI have their first cup match of the season versus Merseyside Commonwealth at home. There's a slight alteration in the team chemistry for the weekend game, with 2s skipper Nathan Wilkes taking the reins with a strong mixture of performing players from both the 1st and 2nd XI. TJ, Farhad, Harry and Ishan will come up whilst we see the regular faces of Oliver Wilson and Nabeel Tahir amongst others. It'll be a debut performance for the 1st XI for Will Miles, a fantastic achievement and we're sure he will be a regular in the playing XI in the years to come.
