The past couple of years we have been let down by over-seas pros returning early to compete in global tournaments so we made a decision to change the emphasis and we have our man! “We plan to continue the solid development this year that has seen the club go from strength to strength in recent seasons. Our Club Captain Marc Brown and Mark McAlindon, our Development Manager, have a clear vision of what is required for player development at Carlisle. It’s an amazing sight to watch the hundreds of youngsters that turn up at our club go through the age group programmes. From All Stars right through to senior cricket. “Carlisle is without question a community club and we have excellent links throughout the locality, into schools and the city in general. Edenside is not just about cricket – we have a clubhouse that people really want to come to. “We play host to many functions in the clubhouse and most weekends there are private parties with many christenings and wedding events. The ground plays host to many junior county matches, local schools cricket and Cumberland County Cricket Club play Minor Counties Cricket here. “Clearly the pavilion project is our main challenge moving forward but as a club we have progressed and developed over the past ten years both on and off the field. The club is situated at one end of the wall that once represented an empire – Carlisle Cricket Club is on the march once more!” Specialist Wholesaler to the On Trade Specialist divisions in Wine, Draught Minerals and Cask Ale ensure our customers have a leading edge in the trade.
