BOARD NEWS
SK Nord Summer Camp Ground
The board is pleased to announce that, following setting aside reserves last year, we are investigating an option to team up with SK Nord to install an additional ground in the south of Estonia at their summer camp site. The investment for this would not be large as they already have facilities for their own sports camps but it would not only provide existing local players the chance to have a pitch for training but also expose cricket to hundreds of youngsters who will attend the camp each summer.
Tiskre Third Ground
In addition to this we will be adding an additional pitch to the Tiskre set-up to help ease the congestion with the extra games which we are happy to see as we have more women’s matches to host this year.
Both of these expansions will greatly increase the opportunities to play cricket and enable us to grow the game here in Estonia, and the plan is for them to become self funding in the near future
Streaming Technician
We are also looking for a new paid role for this Summer, so if anyone has an interest in assisting and being responsible for the streaming set ups please check out the website for more details.
