Welcome: Hello and welcome to the Esher U16 & U17 age group page. As age groups we have been together for 10 years now (wow doesn’t time fly), and every year we also welcome new players to join our teams.
Training is on Thursday Evenings alongside the adults at New Road, from 27th April 2023 from 6:15pm-8:15pm. Last year there were around 35 players within the age group.
Match play for this age group is organised after the main school exams have finished. Normally from late June onwards. All players are also eligible for selection for the adult teams on a Saturday throughout the season.
Leagues for the 2023 season: we will play in 2 U17 Leagues : U17 – Tier 1, U17 – Tier 2. Boys are also eligible to play in the U19 Tier 1 competition and U21 Trust League – Tier 1.
All matches are now full adult cricket, off 22 yards with an adult size cricket ball. U17 matches should last 20 overs per side.
Pathway to Adult Cricket: We aim to provide a strong progressive pathway to playing adult cricket. Last year over 65 boys U18 represented the club in the Saturday adult teams and 15 boys also had opportunity to play in the 1st and 2nd XI premiership sides. Selection will be subject to availability and at the discretion of the captain of the respective adult teams.
Representative Cricket – The following 6 boys have been selected for the Surrey CCC squads for the 2023 season: Salaar Shabbir, Alex Chambers, Alex French, Daniel Old, Max Wallis, Tom Pitts
