Last Coaching Opportunity before going back to School
Staffordshire Cricket wish to inform you of a unique cricketing opportunity. In view of the recent poor weather and the loss of opportunity to play and practise cricket we have organised a four-day Cricket Summer School starting on Tuesday 1st September until Friday 4th September.
We have arranged to hire the Indoor and Outdoor facilities at Stafford Grammar School during this week to offer an opportunity of spending a week as a full time cricketer. The week will involve a five day programme of:
Each day will commence at 9.30am and finish at 4.30pm. For those of you whose parents work, we will offer an early drop off (8.30am) and a late pick up (5.00pm).
This programme is suitable for those cricketers aged 11 – 15 years who have experience of hardball cricket.
In order to make this week successful we need to get a firm commitment from 24 players. To cover all of the coaching costs and hire of Indoor and Outdoor facilities the charge for the week will be £95.
Our expectation is that take up will be high so please complete your applications form quickly via Bob Askey, details are below. Bob can e mail you an application form.
If you have any questions or require further information please do not hesitate to contact Bob Askey, CDO Performance and Clubs on 07939 716884
Wolverhampton U13
Wolverhampton smashed their way to a thrilling victory to secure the MCC Spirit of Cricket Under 13 National Club Championship title.
Three of the four finalists - Wolverhampton, North Cotswolds and Cambridge NCI - finished the finals festival with two wins.
But the boys from Staffordshire secured the narrowest of victories over Cambridge NCI on run rate - scoring at 6.12 an over compared to Cambridge NCI’s 6.02.
Going into the final day at Oakham, three teams had a chance to win the Ken Barrington Cup, with Washington from Durham cast adrift with two defeats.
Cambridge NCI had won both their matches but lost out to North Cotswolds by 15 runs. Eventual winners Wolverhampton restricted Washington to 115 for three before Damanpreet Singh and Jack Lewis each scored 30 not out to knock off the runs in 18.4 overs - speed which would prove crucial.
Wolverhampton lost just one wicket in compiling 136 for one against Cambridge NCI with some scintillating strokes - Singh (30 not out), Shoaib Malik (31 not out) and Amritpal Singh (31 not out) all enjoyed the conditions.Unfortunately for them Cambridge NCI’s batsmen were also in good form, particularly Alex Scully (33 not out), Chris Pepper (30 not out) and Jack Harvey (33 not out), as they won by 10 wickets.
On Day two, after the lunch interval, North Cotswolds batted first on the main ground against Wolverhampton and were restricted to 86 for five with Jack Groves retiring with a score of 32. In reply Wolverhampton knocked off the runs in 16.4 overs with Amritpal Singh scoring 30 in this game to add to his good knock in the morning.
A record 1,803 teams entered the competition and all four sides had won their regional titles.
The Ken Barrington Cup was presented by Ken’s widow Ann to winning captain Wahab Malik, and MCC president Derek Underwood presented Wolverhampton their medals.
Graham Warner wins Regional Coaching Award
Graham Warner the County Club and Staffordshire under 13 coach has won a regional prize at the annual 'Sky Sports Coach Awards'
Now entering their third year, the awards are a way of saying thank you to people who have made a significant contribution to the support and development of coaches and coaching in cricket.
As in 2008, County Coaches Associations were invited to nominate 1 person from their county for each category. There was again three categories for 2009, “Outstanding Contribution and Services to Cricket Coaching”, “Outstanding Coaching Achievement” and “Young Coach of the Year”
The county winners for “Outstanding Contribution and Services to Cricket Coaching” and “Outstanding Coaching Achievement” (40 from each category nationally – 80 overall) were invited to attend the recent test match at Headingley,receive specially designed reward and recognition clothing and were presented with their awards during an on pitch presentation. The county winners of “Young Coach of the Year” will be invited to attend a coaching day coming up soon.
24 Regional winners (8 from each category) were selected from this original 80 and they were invited to the final awards ceremony.
3 National winners (1 from each category) were selected from the chosen 24 and recognised and rewarded at the final awards ceremony (details to be confirmed).
In addition to the above, all 120 Reward and Recognition winners will receive clothing from Licensed Clothing and Equipment supplier, Duncan Fearnley Cricket Sales. All selections were made by the Staffordshire Coaches Association.
Graham was nominated in the 'Outstanding Coaching Achievement' category. Graham was coach of the county under 13 team that won the national final in 2006 and this has never been recognised until now. Staffordshire were the first minor county to win any age group title. Graham also does some tremendous work not only with the under 13's but is also coaches the county club and development teams.
Bob Askey was Staffordshire's nomination in the 'Outstanding Contribution and Services to Cricket Coaching'. Bob has been a good servant to cricket in the county, firstly with Stafford Grammar School then with his full time job in Staffordshire Cricket. Bob still finds time to coach at his club where the young players are seeing some good sucesses and also manage the county under 11 side.
