April Edition :

The grass is cut and rolled to produce a sight of summer, the first wicket of  2007.

The cricket season begins this weekend with Innellan CC  welcoming their first foot, Cairndow CC, at Castle Toward on Sunday afternoon.

 Indoor nets at DGS saw the return of the stalwarts and a few newcomers, including 7 juniors.  

To our new friends we extend a warm welcome and trust you will enjoy your cricket at Innellan and Cairndow.

Last weekend the square at the Castle looked and played well in a practice session.

Innellan’s Captain this year is Michael Clark, he, having played well for Innellan with bat and ball for a number of years, has now taken the skipper’s bunnet and we wish him well in his captaincy.

The Rain Dancers from the head of Loch Fyne have obviously been practicing, (as this is written, a small monsoon has arrived, -perhaps their timing is a bit out this early in the season),  but it is thought that all will be well for the curtain raiser this weekend!

So with the smell of freshly cut grass, the sound of leather on willow will once again echo around the splendid surroundings of Castle Toward.

Innellan CC would like to thank the management and staff of Castle Toward, and in particular Mr H Murray, Mr P Wilson and Mr D Lamont,  for allowing us to play cricket at Toward over the last 25 years. Without its facilities and their support, it is doubtful cricket would be alive and well in Cowal.
