Wildcats Landed
In Cranbrook!
Cranbrook Juniors FC is super excited to bring the
Wildcats programme to our town and we already
have upwards of 15 girls coming every week!
So, what exactly is Wildcats? Well, it’s non-
competitive football for girls who want to give it a go
for the very first time or want to play with other girls their own
age. All girls aged five to 11, of any ability, are invited to come
along and join us to have fun, make friends and play football!
Led by FA qualified and DBS checked coaches, there's no
pressure for girls to play in matches or do anything they feel
uncomfortable with. Activities vary weekly but could include
assault courses, no-contact bulldog, drills with and without a
ball, pretending to be animals, hula hoop challenges and much
more.
Sessions are held at the Weald Sports Centre on Fridays
(term-time only) 17.30-18.30 and cost £3 per session. For more
information email wildcats@cranbrookjuniorsfc.co.uk

Never too Late
to Celebrate!
Due to the pandemic, part of the
centenary celebrations to mark the
reformation of Cranbrook Bowls Club
following the Great War of 1914-18, had
to be cancelled.
One was a game against the royal household at Windsor Castle and
the other a visit to the Chelsea pensioners to play against them.
Despite the cancellations, stalwart player Tony Platts said the
members had their own celebration at the club a year later. The guests
of honour were our honorary mayor, Linda Page, and dress shop owner
Gemma Humphries.
The club is looking for new playing members, whether they are
new to bowls, coming back to the sport after a time away or perhaps
thinking of changing clubs. Cranbrook has its own teams in the Weald
League and Maidstone Men’s Friday evening league if potential
members want to play competitive bowls.
