Success at Wicket, Flick it, Try it

Dundee Wanderers Hockey Club, Dundee Eagles Rugby Club and Dundee High School FP cricket Club held a joint ‘Funday’ on Sunday 1st September at Dalnacraig grounds, Arbroath, Dundee.

Despite the windy weather, there was a good turnout of approximately 300 people, with over 100 kids signing up at the registration tents.  

There was plenty on offer from formal sports opportunities in cricket, hockey and rugby, to lots of fun competitions including, beat the goaly, an assault course and fastest bowler.

Additionally, there were local business there to advertise their services and Bouncy Betty did a roaring trade with the bouncy castles, the ‘Impossible Bike’, a candy floss stall and other fun fairground games.

The organisers of Wicket, flick it, try it would like to say a huge thank you to the sponsors of the event, namely John Clark MINI Tayside as without their contribution, the day could not have gone ahead.  They also had a large number of local support incluidng Wave 102, Help for Kids, Heal Physiotherapy, Aitkens Wines, McGills Electrical, Scott Brothers butchers and Mark Walker Architects. There was also sporting equipment on sale through Monarch Hockey, PSL and Clubsport.

A special mention must go to all of the volunteers over the course of the day, without their help the clubs could not have had so much on offer.  A special thanks also goes to Siobhan Cowie who travelled down from Aberdeen and stood in the goal all afternoon, showing the youngsters what it takes to keep the ball out of the net!  

The clubs really hope that everyone had an enjoyable day and they look forward to seeing everyone coming along to join in, young or old!
