  • SURREY CRICKET FOUNDATION 2017 ANNUAL REVIEW Director Of
    SURREY CRICKET FOUNDATION 2017 ANNUAL REVIEW Director of Cricket Participation Paul Taylor looks back on a year of change and great achievement right across the county. 2017 has been another incredibly busy year for the Surrey Cricket Foundation (SCF). In February, the Cricket Participation team restructured giving promotions to four very deserving individuals. Vicki Howard, Gavin Reynolds, Mark Babb and Harry Ellis were all promoted to Cricket Participation Officers with Vicki and Gavin taking on the lead for women & girls cricket and disabilities cricket respectively. Mark took the lead on our vast school competitions programme whilst Harry led on all events held at The Kia Oval. More importantly this gave us more resources in terms of club support. With Kim Price and Chevy Green also being club facing, we now have six members of staff working directly with our clubs, with Simon Hards taking on a coordinating role within club development. They have been ably supported by our community coaches and our administration team and whilst there are always continual challenges for us in terms of priorities, we have enjoyed some incredible successes. Our School’s programme, supported by Chance to Shine, has seen the game introduced to over 23,500 children in 2017. Across the Street projects, we again excelled in terms of delivery and the number of attendees. An achievement that has been highlighted by Chance to Shine across the country. Schools Day this year was held at the Royal London one-day match between Surrey and Kent and we saw just under 5,000 children enjoy the experience at The Kia Oval.

One of Di Venuto's mantras are the three P's - partnerships, patience and pressure. First came the pressure - the pressure of succeeding Graham Ford, then the patience. The Surrey supporters kept faith, by and large, and now we're seeing the partnerships - like the new club record eighth wicket stand between Ben Foakes and Gareth Batty at Southampton, which placed Surrey on their current upward trajectory. If spin twins Batty and Zafar Ansari combine with the ball in the two remaining home games against Lancashire and Hampshire, as we know they can, who knows? Put it this way, we can certainly start thinking in terms of Surrey challenging for the County Championship next summer. Only Surrey have looked like ending Middlesex's unbeaten record in the Champo and what also augurs well for the future is the way they overcame a Warwickshire side that, but for the emergence of Chris Woakes as a serious Test cricketer and a side strain to Chris Wright, might have had a tilt at the crown.
