The Daman Cricket Club Leicester (DCCL) has been making waves in the local cricketing community, demonstrating impressive growth, ambition, and a commitment to fostering talent. Following their remarkable championship win in Division 9 in 2024, DCCL is now set to embark on a new journey in Division 8 for the 2025 season. This promotion marks a significant milestone for the club and underscores its dedication to excellence, teamwork, and development.

However, DCCL’s ambitions don’t stop there. The club is also expanding its presence by introducing a second team, which will be competing in Division 9 for the 2025 season. This strategic expansion not only allows more players to be part of the club but also helps create a strong foundation for long-term success.

- From Division 9 Champions to Division 8 Contenders
The 2024 season was a defining moment for Daman Cricket Club Leicester. With exceptional performances, disciplined training, and a winning mentality, the club finished the season as Division 9 champions, securing promotion to Division 8.

This achievement was a result of:
✅ Consistent performances from all the players.
✅ Strong leadership from the club captain and management.
✅ Support from the local cricketing community and sponsors.
✅ Hard work and dedication at training sessions and match days.

Now, as the club steps into Division 8, the challenges will be tougher, the competition stronger, and the expectations higher. However, DCCL is more than ready to take on this new chapter and prove themselves once again.

- Expansion: Introducing DCCL’s 2nd Team in Division 9
One of the biggest developments for 2025 is the induction of a second team into the league. With the growing interest in the club and a rising number of talented players eager to represent DCCL, it became clear that expanding the club’s presence was the right step forward.

Why a Second Team?
- More Opportunities – Allows more players to compete and develop their skills.
- Club Growth – Strengthens the club’s reputation and reach within the league.
- Pathway for Young Talent – Creates a stepping stone for young and emerging cricketers.
- Competitive Edge – Encourages healthy competition within the club, pushing players to perform at their best.

The DCCL 2nd Team will compete in Division 9 in 2025, aiming to carry forward the winning spirit of the club and build another championship-winning squad.

- Developing Future Stars: Launch of ‘All Stars Cricket’ from 2025
DCCL is not only focused on current performance but also on future development. In an effort to nurture young cricketing talent, the club is introducing All Stars Cricket, a coaching program for children aged Age 5 to 8 , starting in 2025.

What is All Stars Cricket?
All Stars Cricket is an ECB-endorsed coaching system designed to introduce young players to the fundamentals of cricket in a fun, engaging, and structured way. The program will focus on:
- Batting, Bowling, and Fielding Techniques
- Teamwork and Sportsmanship
- Fitness and Coordination
- Fun and Engaging Training Sessions

By launching this initiative, DCCL aims to create a strong pipeline of young cricketers who will develop a passion for the sport and eventually represent the club at higher levels.

- The Road Ahead: What’s Next for DCCL?
Daman Cricket Club Leicester has already come a long way, but this is just the beginning of a bigger and brighter future. With:
✅ A team promoted to Division 8
✅ A second team being introduced in Division 9
✅ A structured coaching program for young cricketers

The club is on the right path to becoming one of the most established and competitive cricket clubs in Leicester.
