The 2024 cricket season has been a remarkable one for Knockin and Kinnerley Cricket Club, with three of the six adult sides clinching their respective league titles. This on-field success is driven by the “One Club” approach, led by Club Captain Gary Darlington.

Gary explains, “2024 has been an amazing year and it couldn’t have gone much better. The atmosphere around the club is phenomenal and I am proud to be Club Captain. While we had three sides secure top spot in their leagues, our other three sides each finished third. We set out our ‘One Club’ vision at the start of the year and collectively agreed on what success would look like. Everyone really bought into the approach and the results speak for themselves.”

Looking ahead to next year, Gary is already planning to build on the foundations and success of 2024. “The number of players taking their first step into adult cricket or stepping up a level has been rewarding and bodes well for next season. We would have loved for our first team to have also secured their league title, but we know we are well set to challenge next year. With a couple more additions, we won’t be far away.”
