CRICKET CLUB
A
comb CC is a club that
plays an important role
in the local community,
providing people from the
local area with an opportunity to play
the game. Club Captain Andrew Tute
took the time to tell us more about the
club and the good work that they’ve
been doing lately.
Involvement
He said, “I have been involved with
Acomb Cricket Club since birth
really! My dad was a player, and then
employee of the club, taking the job
of club steward some 30 years ago, a
position that he still holds today. He
has also been our groundsman for the
majority of this period. So it was in my
blood from day 1, my christening was
held in the clubhouse!
I first played as a late replacement
for the U16 side when I was 8 or 9,
and managed to get a game one way
or another most of the time after that. I
broke into the men’s team (second team)
when I was 14 and have probably only
missed a handful of league games since
then. A lot of people at ACC are ‘lifers’,
and have been involved in the club for
as long as they can remember.”
2014
“2014 was a very successful year for
the club both on and off the field. The
senior teams all finished towards
the top of their respective divisions,
with the first team capping this off
by gaining promotion back into the
Premier Division, after being relegated
the previous season. It went down to
the final game of the season, which was
obviously very nerve-wracking – but
we got a good result, and another game
