Junior cricketers celebrate Yorkshire Pathways success
Two members of Pocklington Cricket Club's junior section are celebrating after winning places on Yorkshire Cricket Board's Pathways to Excellence scheme.
Ten year olds Ted Baty and Harry Jackson were selected to join the scheme, that exists to help young players achieve their cricketing potential, following a trial that saw 70 children competing for just four places.
Chairman of Pocklington Cricket Club and club coach, Andy Inns is delighted with the boys' progress: "The boys have worked hard to achieve this level at such a young age.
"They are totally committed to their cricket and have a great attitude. They are great ambassadors for Pocklington Cricket Club and deserve every success."
The boys, who both represented East Yorkshire for cricket last year, have been playing at Pocklington since they were seven. They also play for Shiptonthorpe Under 11's football club in Division One of the Hull Boys Sunday League.
Pocklington Cricket Club's thriving junior section fields five teams in the York league and has increased its coaching squad with the appointment of three new junior coaches for the forthcoming season.
The junior season starts in February with winter nets at Frances Scaife Leisure Centre in Pocklington. For more information, please contact Andy Inns on 07790 243703.
