Youth Cricket

Youth cricket at Abergavenny Cricket Club is crucial to the long-term success and sustainability of local cricket. Without a strong commitment to Youth cricket there is no future for the game in Abergavenny. We invest a lot of time and effort in developing young cricketers who we hope will mature into senior players. Our track record is good, with Mark Wallace, Michael Powell & now Ben Morris securing careers in first class cricket. However, our values also include fun and enjoyment, and we hope the young people that turn up to our regular training sessions continue to experience fun and enjoyment.

The GWENT YOUTH LEAGUE organises the Age Groups with an associated day of the week. Although most fixtures, both home and away, are allocated a night, some clubs may need to amend this arrangement.

Many of the teams are mixed although the Girls have their own teams and fixtures at U13 and U15 and these are organised by Cricket Wales.

We encourage all young people no matter their ability to join us on a Friday evening from the beginning of April till the end of August. Each age group will each have their own training evening.

The Academy Coach, Geraint Leach is available for the more talented young players who wish to further their cricket skills and receive additional mentoring and coaching. These 1:1 session are part funded by the Club.

For the 2025 season there are competitive leagues and cup tournaments for the U11, U13 & U15’s  and girls teams at U13 & U15’s.
