Old Beach Cricket Club’s youth lead strong season

by Brighton Council

With the 2024/2025 season commencing at Old Beach Cricket Club, the focus is on developing youth to a high standard, both on and off the field. With seven players aged 20 or under featuring in the first XI over the first two weeks of the season, the majority came through the junior ranks together.

The Club fielded three sides for this season’s 2nd Grade, 4th Grade and 7th Grade, and are looking for more local players to join. Coach Sean McGuire confirmed that Old Beach Cricket Club is off to a promising start following eight weeks of pre-season training. The club kicked off with two 2nd Grade wins to sit second on the ladder. Their commitment to youth development is already paying off, with young talents making a significant impact on the field, such as Liam Maw, Jacob Goodsell, Jack Rolls, Alex Rogers, Daniel Cassidy and Billy Rolls. Additionally, Liam Harris, set to step into the Captain’s role, has displayed strong leadership and cricketing acumen. “Together, this young core signals that Old Beach Cricket Club is in excellent hands moving forward,” said Sean.

President Paul Rogers said that it has also been pleasing to see the bond created over the whole club, with training numbers up. “We want to make the Old Beach Cricket Club a place when you can come and have fun with your mates, as well as win games of cricket for the club and everyone’s respective families,” said Paul. “The Old Beach Cricket Club is in great hands with these young men who have come through our junior program together to lead this club well into the future.”
