     HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to our under 11's junior cricket team who are the Under 11 Hambleton league       champions after beating North Stainley on 27th July 2025.

     They finished joint top and played a nail biting semi final against Richmond which went down to the final
     ball. The final was equally as tense. After 16 overs each in the final, it came down to the last ball, where
     it  was a tie. The league committee agreed that a bowl off would occur. This is similar to a penalty
     shootout in football where 6 bowlers bowl at the wicket aiming to hit them. Best of 6 and then sudden
     death if needed. With parents, coaches and supporters hardly able to watch, the juniors held their nerve,
     winning 4-1 and taking the victory, bringing the U11 league title home to Railway View for the first time. 

     This is an outstanding achievement, and we should remember that the juniors are only in their third
     season playing alongside well-established clubs with huge squads such as Northallerton, Thirsk and
     Richmond. A number of children from Newton and the surrounding villages play for us.
 

     The club is going from strength to strength with an adult 1st and 2nd team, under 11's, under 9's and
     under 12's girls. We also had over 40 children join the All Stars this season. The 2026 season will see the
     introduction of an under 13's team and a ladies team, so if anyone is interested in joining our lovely club,
     please come forward and sign up!

     It just goes to show that with a dedicated team behind the scenes that a club can go from no junior
     cricket to a full and growing set up to league champions in a short space of time. Dedication and hard
     work plus some amazing children and parents helping along the way. A huge thank you everyone for
     your ongoing and unwavering support.

 If anyone would like to join the journey, as a player, coach, or volunteer in any capacity, please drop the

     junior coordinator Craig Brown a message at craigbrown154@gmail.com or call 07917 305618.
