Bear Cricket players said of their winter tour camp experience at Desert Springs Resort:

“My first trip to Desert Springs has been great fun and successful overall. The staff are all friendly across all departments and very helpful. The accommodation is well looked after, clean and spacious.

The cricket facilities are great and perfect for some off-season training.

The match ground is especially well looked after.” Jake Vickers

“The trip to Desert Springs has been very enjoyable. The weather has impressed despite it being mid-November.

The lads and I have all been really impressed with the accommodation, facilities and food and a round of golf was a perfect way to round off the tour as well. All in all, a good trip.”  Stuart Lister

Grass net practice, both bowling and batting took place at the Cricket Academy. Strength and conditioning work, running, speed and agility work was completed at the Cricket Ground and Gym at the Sierras Sports Club, and two competitive matches took place at the Cricket Ground on Wednesday 10^th & Thursday 11^th November.
