PRE-ORDER INFORMATION - PLEASE READ

Please note, all current orders are on a pre-order basis, with delivery anticipated early-mid February 2025.

But why, you may ask? Well here goes... bear with us as it's a long one!
-

Hello! Adam Bolton here, the founder & jack of all (most!) trades behind Neon Cricket!
-
While it may not appear it from afar, the Neon Cricket HQ is manned solely by the original 'Neon Family', my wife Bronwen and I, along with our 3 young children; Freddie (4), Isla (2) and Nellie (8 months!). We don't have hoardes of staff or the backing of big money investors - just a very busy family trying to create something special within a largely very bland cricket industry!
-
It was back in 2013 as the result of my university dissertation that the idea for Neon Cricket was born. Roll on just over a decade and what was once a hypothetical company created purely for my final uni project has grown into one of the fastest growing UK cricket brands - with no signs of our growth slowing down! We're incredibly grateful to each and every one of our customers who have supported us over the years, with your continued loyal support truly meaning the world to us.
-

Now, why will no orders (or at least a very limited number!) be shipped during the month of January?

-
Back on May 8th 2024 I was lucky enough to be involved in the inaugural 'Content Creators Cup', alongside a whole host of our Neon Content Creators and other stars from across social media. Unfortunately while it was a great day out for all (most!) involved, I suffered what initially seemed to be a minor knee injury - roll on a full cricket season sat on the sidelines & an MRI after numerous medical appointments, and low and behold I was eventually diagnosed with a torn ACL mid-September 2024.
-
As a result of this, I am now due to have a full reconstruction of my ACL on January 9th 2025 - while there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel for my injury, the unfortunate downside is that with us running Neon day-to-day as a family, and me being out of action for at least the next 3/4 weeks in the initial stages of my recovery, it simply won't be possible for us to prepare your bats/pack and ship orders on the same basis that we usually do (especially with the 3 young terrors running riot!!).
-

Knowing the surgery has been coming, we took the decision to delay the arrival of our main shipment of softs and luggage to late January 2025, to coincide with when we should be back up on our feet at HQ and able to fulfil your orders.
-

We can only apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but we wanted to be honest with everyone, as we always have been as a brand, and be realstic as to what can be achieved during the initial recovery period - but rest assured that your kit will be worth the wait!!
-
A huge thanks again for everyone's support, and here's to a cracking 2025 season (although hopefully not in the knee department again...!).
