ABERGAVENNY CC's Sunday morning winter nets, which have been taking place under the guidance of former Somerset all-rounder Graham Burgess, have now ended.
Outdoor practice, again led by Graham, starts next Tuesday evening (7 April) at 6pm. The summer's Friday youth coaching sessions begin on 17 April at 6.30 pm.
The new season is little over a week away. Friendly matches begin at Avenue Road on Sunday 12 April with a very attractive fixture with Gloucestershire County Cricket Club 'B' and, on the following Saturday and Sunday, the visitors will be Malpas and Panteg respectively.
There will also be a social evening at the clubhouse following the match on Saturday 18 April, which will see the launch of the 175th anniversary commemorative publication.
The first and second XIs open their South East Wales Premier League campaigns on Saturday 25 April and the two Herefordshire League teams do so the following week.
