“I used to play cricket when I was young, but now at my age I don’t do much physical activity anymore apart from a spot of bowls.

I was invited by people I know here at Walking Cricket to come along, and I’ve never looked back. The sessions are good as I’m now exercising, and I’m always involved. In the past I had broken my leg and I find coming to the sessions has helped with my movement. Since my wife died, I found socialising difficult. The Walking Cricket sessions have helped with the social side as the group is very friendly and there is good camaraderie.  It’s a good way to spend an hour of an afternoon.”

Walking Cricket is a bit of fun and a great way to stay active.

“Walking Cricket is a bit of fun and a great way to stay active.

When I retired I found there wasn’t much to do.  I enjoy cricket and when I found out about Walking Cricket, I wanted to come along. It’s a really good way of meeting new people and remain being active.  There is a good atmosphere and it’s a great way of playing sport in a friendly group.  Coming to the sessions has led me to playing golf, well pitch ‘n’ putt if I’m honest; something I thought I’d never do.”
