This past weekend marked a fantastic end to the season for Lismore Cricket Club as we welcomed U13 players from Cork Harlequins and Cork County Cricket Clubs for a thrilling kids’ blitz. The energy, camaraderie, and excitement on the pitch made it a day to remember for everyone involved.
For many of our Lismore Knights, this was their first experience of playing competitive cricket, and they did not disappoint. They gave it their all across two exciting games, showcasing natural talent and plenty of determination. The highlight of the day came when Lismore won the second match against a combined Harlequins and County team! It was a huge confidence boost for the boys, and it gave a glimpse of the bright future ahead for Lismore Cricket Club.
One of the standout moments of the event was the special training session hosted by Munster Reds player Liam McCarthy. Liam was incredible with the kids, sharing his expertise and passion for the game, and making sure everyone had fun while improving their skills. His presence added a professional touch to the day, and we are so grateful to him for giving back to the community. Special thanks go to KOB Cricket Academy for organizing Liam’s visit and helping to inspire the next generation of cricketers.
We also want to extend a huge thank you to the parents for their unwavering support. Not only did they help provide the teas, but their enthusiastic applause from the pavilion was a wonderful sound throughout the matches. Their encouragement undoubtedly fueled the boys on the pitch and added to the sense of community we are growing at Lismore.
As we wrap up the season, we can’t help but feel excited about the potential of these young players. The talent we witnessed over the weekend speaks volumes about the future of Lismore Cricket Club. With continued support from our local community, coaches, and parents, we look forward to seeing these boys grow into the next generation of cricket stars.
Here’s to many more seasons of learning, fun, and success on the pitch! 🏏💪
