Established in 2023 we are back for 2026 having set a fundraising record in 2025 - and won a Hampshire Cricket Collective award.

2025 funded our most extensive collection of camps at Easter and in the Summer Holidays, allowed us to set aside funds to run camps once our fundraising journey ends and bought equipment to facilitate both the camps and junior cricket at the club.

Our camps have provided free cricket to 216 young people since our first camps in 2023, 14% of the intake have been female which has fueled our growing girls section with SACC being able to field a junior girls team in 2025 and will again in 2026.

With three teams - Team SACC, Team Parents, Team IDPE we will race our way to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome to coincide with finishing during England's fixture with Italy in the 6 Nations Championship.

All three teams will have ride virtually across from Twickenham to Stadio Olimpico in Rome for 24 hours and slots will be full of players, parents and even a few juniors thrown in.

Here comes the heart strings!! For those close to me you will know I have had heart surgery last year and my level of fitness has over the past few years had to deterioate. It is coming back up now and this is also a personal challenge to see what I can do in a slot or two.

Please do help if you can, it is for a great cause for the local community around our cricket club.
