Maccabi Ajax Senior Cricket Club: Pre-Season Incoming!

The scent of freshly mown grass, the unmistakable sound of a cricket ball meeting the bat – yes, pre-season is almost here, and it promises to be one for the books. Before diving into the much-awaited dates, let’s unwrap some significant updates from Maccabi Ajax Senior Cricket Club.

Spotlight on the New Coach: Stef Lindstrom  Big news on the pitch! Stef Lindstrom has been appointed as the new head coach.
