As winter slowly turns to spring the Elsburg Eagles Cricket Club is beginning its preparation for the upcoming Easterns Cricket League season.<\/p>\n
After a successful 2017\/2018 season, which saw the club topping both the Executive and Promotion leagues and walking away with several trophies at the annual Easterns prize-giving, the club is eager to get back into action when the league starts in October.<\/p>
\u201cAfter a well-deserved break, we believe it is important to get an early start on practice in order to maintain the momentum gained during the last few seasons.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpirits at the club are at an all-time high and we are thrilled to say we boast players with a wealth of talent and experience,\u201d said Martiens Grobler on behalf of the club.<\/p>
The club will start practice on August 16, which will include several friendly pre-season warm-up matches.<\/p>\n
The matches will allow the club a chance to loosen up and find their stride before the season begins.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe matches are always great fun and offer the players a great opportunity to showcase their talent,\u201d Grobler said<\/p>\n
The club is appealing to new players to come and join them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to growing and welcome all new and old members with open arms,\u201d Grobler said.<\/p>\n
