We are very pleased to announce that we have been
successful in our application to the ECB for a grant towards the
development of our new ground. At a meeting earlier this week an ECB
funding committee approved a grant for the full amount that we had
applied for. This is a big boost for the club as we hope to begin the
groundwork in August & is the culmination of some very hard work by the
clubs committee, especially Charlie Scott, Dick Reeve & Neil Wedge & has
been well supported by the ECB & the Leicestershire & Rutland cricket
Board. It completes a good month for the club which also saw us gain
clubmark accreditation, reach three cup finals & top the league tables
with three different senior teams.
Mixed fortunes for the club last weekend as the
first team won away at March & the seconds were beaten at home by
Peterborough Town.
The first team lost to Bourne Town in the final of
The Stamford Shield which was played at Burghley Park last Monday
evening. Bourne batted first & scored 102 from their 20 overs &
Uppingham were bowled-out for 61. Pictures.
On Tuesday evening the Burrough
league team beat Whissendine to continue their unbeaten run this season. It all came down
to the last over with Whissendine needing 10 for victory with 4 wickets
remaining but 3 run-outs & a stumping saw Uppingham home with a ball to
spare.
The junior presentation evening & bowl-out will take
place on Thursday 21st August, all welcome. A barbeque will also be
available on that evening. All welcome.
Please enter the competition
here to try & win a new mower for the club, (you'll need to know
that our current mower is an Allett).

We are pleased to announce that

Outside youth cricket training continues up at the
club on Thursday nights from 6.30pm & regularly sees 100+ children
keen to learn new skills.
A reminder that all memberships are now overdue. Forms can be downloaded from the website.
We would like to take this opportunity of thanking
all of our 2008 sponsors & hoping that we can look forward to your
continued support. Any new sponsors of the club
would be very welcome as we look to build for the future.
This year the Club has entered a third team into weekend League
cricket which contains a mixture of senior & junior
players to continue the development of our many younger players an
introduction to
competitive cricket.
The U13's had a very successful
tour to Suffolk last season. Report & pictures.
The jokes page has made it's long awaited
return here.
Following last years dismal response to the request
for photos of club members in their
UTCC shirts around the world, I thought we would give it another try
this year. The first picture received was from Ed Scott who wore his
shirt while over in Kenya.
We are a Focus Club & we have now
also gained ECB ClubMark accreditation whereby we have demonstrated that we are fully equipped in
every sense to look after youngsters and promote cricket
to the youth of the community.
To comply with ClubMark regulations we have a
Child Welfare Officer and we ensure that sufficient
qualified coaches and supplementary helpers are always
available to look after all of our colts.
All of our coaches and helpers have undergone
Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks and the coaches
have taken first aid courses in addition to their
cricket coaching courses.
You can rest assured that your children are in
safe hands at the club. |
