The club are delighted to be the recipients of a second grant from the Michael May Foundation towards the coaching courses this winter. The Foundation had previously contributed towards coaching equipment for the colts which has helped us achieve what we have.
Michael May had a lifelong involvement with cricket at all levels in Hampshire and was described by Christopher Martin-Jenkins in the Telegraph in 1996 as a "tireless worker for the County's young players". Above all he sought to nurture the development of young cricketers and to foster their enjoyment of the game. The foundation aims to continue this work by helping cricketers under the age of 19 living in Hampshire or the Isle of Wight.
In our particular case the Foundation are contributing to the cost of coaching courses to help the club provide more qualified coaches. This winter Richard Thomas, Anthony Williams and Chris Salmon are taking the Level 1 course and James Stratford-Tuke, Daniel Amis and Kevan Tate are taking the Level 2 course. This year the cost of the courses have increased dramatically and we are very grateful to the Foundation for their support as we continue to grow the club.
