Three years
on the same
patch of grass
We started with a borrowed net and eleven kids who had nowhere else to go on a Tuesday. The ground has not moved since. Most of the rest has.
The story
How it
actually went
Nobody founded this club with a mission statement. It started because a school pitch sat empty four nights a week and somebody had a key.
In 2023 that somebody was Imran Qureshi, who put a net up on the council square and told eleven kids from his street to turn up at five. Eight of them did. The following year there were forty, and the year after that a parent asked whether we could do something for the ones who did not like cricket.
What has stayed constant is the money. Subs cover kit, pitch hire, insurance and match fees — nothing else. Two paid positions, both part-time. No shareholders, no franchise fee, and a set of accounts published every March that anyone can read.
