[Vitas Cricket]

Hi guys,

Normally I organise Ketton cricket tours, and we've had some great times in recent years; Newcastle, Leeds, Cardiff, Cheltenham, Brighton amongst others.

This year i (foolishly) left it to another club member to organise a tour to Sheffield, which is his home city. I managed to get a game on August 1st with @smilley792 's team, and left the other club member to arrange accommodation and fixtures on August 2nd and 3rd. Since then a few months have passed and no progress. A little frustrating to say the least!

If anyone in the Sheffield area (we have cars so can travel) can help with a fixture on the 2nd or 3rd of August, please let me know ASAP. We would prefer games in the day, but would consider evening T20 too. We can accommodate/adapt to virtually any standard, and whilst we would like a good game we are really there for some fun and some beers, we will certainly top up the till in your bar!

message me on the forum or email jake@vitascricket.co.uk if you can assist.

Try Chesterfield who play on the Derbyshire outground and have teams from Derbyshire prem to Sunday village or Chesterfield barbarians who are more relaxed although a word of warning about barbs they're changing facilities are poor (portacabin with tiny rooms) they about half an hour from Chesterfield and both are on Twitter for a contact point, I'll pm you if I can find the details of the barbarians chairman still (my old club) if you would like?

Let me ask as the U18s maybe about - not to far from Sheffield (Clumber Park)

I'm in Sheffield and have made quite a few contacts around including committee members within the SYSCL, please let me have some details about the standard you want to play against and I'll try a few clubs.

Any preference where abouts you'd like to play?

Many thanks for the messages guys. Will be a mix of regular first team cricketers playing 1 league below ECB prem level right through to no rounders who can barely hold a beer let alone a bat. But we usually work out the standard required quite quickly and adapt ourselves upwards or downwards, so we are open to anything

Good choice of destination, mate. Whereabouts are you staying? I'll ask if our club fancy a bit of this
