 | | The Casuals & Newport Inn |
The Primary Club Casuals were formed in 2004 to raise awareness of the
Primary Club back amongst its original roots of recreational cricket
clubs, when a couple of young Primary Club volunteers took it upon
themselves to arrange a team to play Newport Inn CC in Hampshire.
That first team set the template for the Casuals' future, being a
hotch-potch mix of 17-40 somethings of limited cricketing ability but
unlimited enthusiasm!
Since then, the Casuals have been working slowly to establish
themselves, playing a handful of fixtures a season, predominantly around
London and the South/South-East. Matches range from a simple
turn-up-and-play affair to well-attended family days out with teas for
sale, a raffle and barbecue, all to raise funds for the Primary Club;
however it is raising awareness and signing up Primary Club members - as
well as fun - that are the main priorities.
Of course, the Casuals' would not be representatives of the Primary Club
without an undue fascination in first ball dismissals! At present, the
statistics are as follows:
| Primaries "achieved" by Casuals | 0 |
| Primaries "caused" by Casuals | 2 |
If your club would be interested in playing the Casuals in the future, or if you would like to play for
the Casuals, please contact fixtures@primaryclub.org
