Dumfries Cricket Club are delighted to announce that they will again be an accredited centre to deliver the national 'All Stars' cricket programme for 5-8 year old participants.

Registration is open with each child receiving a pack of cricket goodies including a cricket bat, ball, backpack, water bottle, personalised shirt and cap to keep so that they can continue their love of cricket when they go home.

There will also be a chance for youngsters to meet current Scotland internationalists as part of All Stars Cricket, which will be led by fully trained and vetted activators at each club.

The 2017 programme was a huge success with over 35 children registered with many parents getting involved throughout the sessions.
