Ards Cricket Club is looking to recruit a locally-based cricketer for the 2017 season to fulfil both playing and coaching roles within the club.

We would expect the player/coach to assume a leading role within the 1st XI, working together with the Club Coach to coordinate training and coaching throughout the week, including match-day build up and preparation.

The player/coach will also assist with, and contribute towards, the on-going and continued development of our young cricketers. To this end, a coaching qualification, equivalent to UKCC Level 2 or above, would be desirable.

Anyone interested in such a role should contact Ards CC's Honorary Secretary, Rab Dunn, on 07724 117026 or rabdunn@yahoo.co.uk.

Any interest should be registered by Friday 16th December 2016 and we would be grateful for a brief CV at this stage, outlining playing and coaching pedigree.
