NEW TERM OF CRICKET4ALL KICKS OFF IN NORTH KILDARE

North Kildare Cricket Club is delighted to announce the return of Cricket4All, a pan-disability cricket programme designed to make the game accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Sessions begin again this Wednesday, September 17th and will run until October 22nd, before resuming again from November 5th to December 10th.

The programme offers two timeslots for two different age groups:

• 6–7pm: Ages 6–15

• 7–8pm: Ages 16+

The first session is free to new participants, with subsequent sessions costing €5 per person or €50 for the full block of 12 sessions. All funds raised are reinvested directly into the programme.

Taking place at North Kildare Cricket Club (Eircode: W23NR2F), Cricket4All provides an inclusive and welcoming environment for players of all abilities. Participants can expect a fun, safe, and supportive experience with plenty of opportunities to enjoy cricket in a social setting. Both cricket skills and small sided games are played as well as Table Cricket.

North Kildare are very grateful to the support of Cricket Leinster and the charity Lord's Taverners Ireland for access to equipment as well as delivery of sessions locally in schools to promote table cricket in particular. Thank you also to Kildare Sports Partnership who have also been active in promoting NKCC's inclusive programmes.

Programme coordinator and club volunteer Naomi—who is also Cricket Leinster’s Disability Inclusion and Participation Manager—shared her excitement ahead of the new term:

“It’s fantastic to see Cricket4All growing here at North Kildare. The programme really is about giving everyone the chance to play cricket in a way that works for them, regardless of ability. We’d love to see new faces joining in and current participants continuing to build their skills and confidence through the sessions.”

North Kildare Cricket Club President Brian Horn added:

“We are very proud to be hosting Cricket4All again this year. Inclusivity is at the heart of our club values, and this programme is a wonderful example of how cricket can bring people together. We look forward to welcoming both returning and new participants this term.”
