IT’S been another successful season for the New Norfolk Junior Cricket Club. We had 17 kids play their first season of cricket and each and every one of the 24 boys we had playing improved a lot.
My philosophy as a coach this season was to not worry about wins and losses and just try to improve and have fun and everyone did that. I’ve been coaching cricket for five seasons and this was my favourite because everyone just loved cricket.
Seeing the genuine happiness on the boys faces when they did something they were proud of was a joy for me. Despite not “winning” many games, the kids never once gave up. They played as a team, which was fantastic.
I can’t speak highly enough of how much potential a lot of these boys have in the future and I believe the Derwent Valley is incredibly lucky to have so many fine young citizens coming through.
I can’t wait to watch these kids continue to develop their cricketing skills in the future and hopefully they have a whole community as proud of them as I am.
