DCC has been my cricketing home club for 40+ years & I am genuinely honoured to hold this esteemed position, following in the footsteps of some of the clubs greats.

Firstly, a massive thank you to Steve Quinn for doing a sterling job in the role over the last few years.

The committee have been amazingly busy behind the scenes (as always), so a huge thank you to each of you.

They will share more details in the near future but here are some highlights:
• NETS improvement project – following the huge investment the club and members have made, the project to extend the nets area is progressing well.
• MADU – great news that Madu Zoysa has re-signed for coaching & playing duties for the 2024 season. DCC will also have more of his time than in previous years. Excellent news.
• WOMEN & GIRLs cricket – a special thank you to Sarah Billiald and her helpers for taking up the challenge of setting up Women’s & Girl’s cricket over the last 2 seasons. This has been a great success and looks to be going from strength to strength.
• JUNIOR section – it is great to see this going from strength to strength and I’m delighted that Toby Blood continues as Head of Junior cricket.

I am personally pleased to see we have a new Vice-President. Chris Pike has been, amongst other jobs, membership secretary for 10 years. Congratulations Bungle.

Additionally, huge thanks to Lisa Fownes-Walpole who has stepped down as Safeguarding Officer after countless years.

A full list of club representatives will be published soon.

Please look out for club announcements, get behind & support the committee in their plans to continually improve cricket and the club.

Thank you once again for your support, and here's to a bright and successful future for our club.

I will see you in the bar.

Dom Kenway
