We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Martin Mitchell and the Aberdeen Orthopaedic Network for their incredible, ongoing sponsorship of our Junior Section over the past two years. Their generous annual donations have played a pivotal role in the development and growth of our young players.

Building a Professional Environment
Thanks to Martin’s support, every one of our juniors now carries themselves with a sense of pride and professionalism. These contributions have provided:

Full Match Kits: High-quality playing jerseys and trousers.

Preparation Gear: Professional training tops for midweek sessions.

Club Identity: Aberdeenshire CC hats for all the kids.

Having uniform, high-standard kit ensures our juniors look and feel like a cohesive team from the moment they step onto the pitch. It has vastly improved the club’s brand and created an environment where our "junior professionals" can focus entirely on their game.

Bridging the Gap & Promoting Equality
One of the most significant impacts of this sponsorship is its role in bridging the financial gap. At Aberdeenshire CC, we believe that every child should have the opportunity to play, regardless of their financial background.

Martin’s donations have ensured that every child is equal. By providing essential kit to all participants, the Aberdeen Orthopaedic Network has removed barriers to entry, ensuring that when our kids line up on match day, they stand together as equals, defined by their effort and teamwork rather than their circumstances.

The Full Circle: Giving Back
This partnership is particularly special because Martin Mitchell was once a youngster at this club himself. Seeing a former junior return to support the next generation is the ultimate testament to the spirit of our community.

"Martin is a shining example of the club's legacy. By giving back, he isn't just providing clothes; he is providing inspiration. He is showing our current juniors that success is something to be shared, and we hope that many of our youngsters will follow in his footsteps to support the club in the years to come." - Mr Phil , Head Junior Coach.

Thank you, Martin, and everyone at Aberdeen Orthopaedic Network, for your unwavering kindness and for helping us shape the future of cricket at Aberdeenshire Cricket Club
