February news from Staffordshire Cricket |
 Graduation to Derbyshire CCC Academy
Staffordshire Cricket Board is delighted to announce that Greg Massingham has been accepted on to the Derbyshire CCC first class academy with immediate effect.
Greg who has been in the Staffordshire Emerging Player Programme from November 2008 has progressed through the county representative system and this year will play for our county U14 squad.
Greg who plays for Little Stoke CC and attends Stafford Grammar School, is an all-rounder who bowls leg spin and last year gained regional recognition at U13 age level.
His promotion to the Derbyshire Academy will mean that six players have now made this step up in the four years that the Staffordshire Academy/EPP Programme has been running.
In addition to these players we have 8 other players involved at other first class counties.
With the continuation of the ECB Emerging Players Programme, one of whose major aims is to underpin and support the First Class Academy programme, this is excellent news and demonstrates that Staffordshire continues to be at the forefront of the game in terms of youth development.
Alan Hill, EPP Head Coach for Staffordshire commented: ‘This is tremendous news for Staffordshire cricket and well deserved by Greg who has obvious talent but has also demonstrated a first class work ethic and a real desire to improve. It should also serve as a boost to our promising young players as they can see how close they are to gaining similar recognition.’
Fearnley offer fantastic deal to Staffordshire clubs
Fearnley Cricket, official kit suppliers to Staffordshire Cricket, have written a fantastic deal for all cricket clubs in the county. The agreement will see all clubs given 40% off all teamwear deals that they undertake with Fearnley Cricket.
The reviews of the Fearnley kit (which is currently being distributed amongst the county and district players) is very good and we hope clubs will take advantage of this fantastic offer. Any deals signed will also in a small way benefit the further development of youth cricket in Staffordshire.
Should any clubs wish to see the brochure please contact Andy Grice on 07831 158522 or by email andy.grice@ecb.co.uk
