Surrey Cricket Foundation 2016 Annual Review SURREY CRICKET FOUNDATION 2016 ANNUAL REVIEW Director of Cricket Development Paul Taylor looks back on a year of effort and achievement right across the county. 2016 has been another incredibly busy year for the Surrey Cricket Foundation (SCF) and whilst there are always continual challenges for us, we have enjoyed some incredible successes. Nationally, the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have undergone significant changes to their structure. The new Participation and Growth team, led by Matt Dwyer, has been created following the restructure, with the recruitment of key leads across participation, growth, customer marketing & systems and regional operations. The latter role leads a new regional team network across seven newly created geographical regions. London region (Surrey, Middlesex, Kent and the London boroughs of Essex) will see a team of six ECB staff deployed to support us as a county. Participation in the game has grown, however the trend of adult cricketers leaving the game is a continuing concern. Our numbers are balanced by the growth in junior numbers, particularly amongst girls. The introduction of the new Women’s Kia Super League and Surrey securing the Surrey Stars franchise, has played a key part in the growth of interest in the women and girls game. With England players now able to secure central contracts, there is now a clear pathway for any girls wanting to play at the highest level. Our School’s programme, supported by Chance to Shine, has seen the game introduced to over 13,500 children in 2016. Across the Street programmes we again excelled in terms of delivery and the number of attendees across our projects. An achievement that has been highlighted by Chance to Shine across the country. Our Disabilities programme, with the fantastic support of our sponsor, First State Investments, continues to go from strength to strength. The programme is expanding and whilst there will always be challenges in certain areas of the programme, the highlights have seen our County Visually Impaired team go unbeaten all year and win an unprecedented three trophies during the season. Whilst our annual SCF’s Disabilities Day saw over 400 children enjoy the Kia Oval experience. Our education programmes delivered by our tutoring team and supported by the coaches, officials and groundsman’s associations continue to be well attended with over 900 attendees across the various programmes. Our facility development programme, once again, allocated over £100,000 of funding into the club network as part of the ECB small grants scheme. The ECB contribution was topped up by the SCF and we managed to support 46 clubs. Within the Cricket Development team, I am pleased to announce that Chevy Green has been promoted into the role of Cricket Development Officer and we have recruited three new community coaches during 2016 with George Sims, Chris Morris and John Monday joining the team. They are all excellent additions to the team. I would like to thank Surrey County Cricket Club for the support that we receive as a Foundation. We are truly blessed and lead the way in terms of cooperative working and integration across the county cricket board network. I would also like to thank SCF Trustees, especially our Chairman, Simon Dyson, for their commitment and support in helping shape our operation and ensuring we continue to drive the development of our programmes. In addition, a huge thank you to all the volunteers across the County for all that you do, the game wouldn’t happen without you. Thanks also to the members of our working group structure who help shape our decision making. Lastly, I would like to thank my team for their hard work, support, passion and dedication throughout the year. They are constantly challenged in terms of capacity to deliver all that is expected and without them the successes achieved would not have been possible. 2017 will bring us some fresh challenges with new contracts being negotiated with the ECB, Chance to Shine and Sport England, however our mission to continue to support and improve recreational cricket in the County will not diminish. SCHOOLS This programme forms part of our Chance to Shine schools project and is funded by Chance to Shine. The schools (primary, secondary and special needs) involved have access to curriculum and extra curriculum coaching, assembly visits, teacher training, resources and equipment. The programme also links children to their local cricket club. School’s Programme 2016 has been a successful year for the school’s programme. The figures below show some significant improvement in some areas compared to 2015, most notably, number of schools involved, coaching hours and children receiving regular coaching. 2015 2016 123 (75 Primary, 2 Middle, 37 Schools Involved 111 Secondary & 9 Special Schools) Coaching Hours 2,435 3,490 No. Children receiving 13,595 6,193 regular coaching (51% Male & 49% Female) No. Schools who Participated in National 80 143 Cricket Week No. of inter school matches 1,093 2,112 The program also saw 40 teachers receive Informal Teacher Training and 29 teachers receive 1 to 1 mentoring from SCF coaches. Satellite & Mini Satellite Clubs Fifteen extra-curricular satellite clubs had achieved the following headline figures when the Sport England funding ceased at the end of March 2016: • 425 regular playing members • 78 regular committee members • 288 occasional players • 151 intra-school matches • 118 inter-school matches. As in previous years, satellite club pupils have assisted with the running of both local and county Kwik Cricket competitions. By using young leaders at these events, we are providing them with the opportunity to learn important life skills and the chance to put into practice the skills learnt during their Cricket Activators training. School Competitions A total of 1012 (593 primary and 419 secondary) teams entered our competitions in 2016. School Competitions Roll of Honour 2016 Cup Age Group Winner ESCA NatWest County Cup U15 Whitgift SSCA U15 T20 Vase U15 Howard of Effingham Anderson Cup U14 St John’s U15 Girls Competition U15 St George’s U13 Girls Competition U13 Kingston GS Watcyn Evans Trophy U13 Whitgift School U14 Plate Competition U14 Wallington CGS U13 Plate Competition U13 Rutlish/Wallington U12 Plate Competition U12 TBC in April 2017 Bunbury Jubilee Trophy U12 Trinity School Verney Cup U11 Shrewsbury House Geoff Richards Trophy U11 KCJS Connellan Trophy U11 St Martins Reigate Priory (Reigate & Kwik Cricket Year 6 Open U11 Banstead Kwik Cricket Girls U11 Bishop Gilpin (Merton) Kwik Cricket Year 5 U10 Pirbright Primary School Lady Taverners Indoor U13 Oakwood Lady Taverners Indoor U15 The Charter School Year 7/8 Boys Indoor U13 Reigate Year 9/10 Boys Indoor U15 Ernest Bevin Year 7/8 Boys Inter Outdoor U13 Greenshaw Year 9/10 Boys Inter Outdoor U15 Hollyfield Year 7/8 Girls Inter Outdoor U13 Salesian Year 9/10 Girls Inter Outdoor U15 Wallington Hobbs Trophy SCF again supported the annual Hobbs Trophy match in 2016. This is a 40 over match between U15 players from State schools in Surrey and South London. London Schools, were asked to bat first and were bowled out for 190. In reply, Surrey Schools cruised to victory, reaching the target of 191 with 6 overs to spare. Pinsent Masons Scholarship Programme 12 children were selected in 2016 for the Pinsent Masons scholarship which entitles the individual to a free place at an SCF development course of their choice. The successful participants were invited to attend an on-pitch presentation at the Kia Oval during the innings interval of the Royal London One Day Cup match between Surrey and Glamorgan. Sadly, the weather prevented the presentation taking place on the outfield but it went ahead in the Ken Barrington Cricket Centre, where the awards were presented to the scholars by Pinsent Masons representative, Martin Roberts, and Surrey CCC fast bowler, Matthew Dunn. The 2016 Pinsent Masons Scholars were; Adam Burnham, Archie Legg, Kobi Fordyce, Thomas Sullivan-Ferrarin, Anthony Whitehouse-Brown, Jamie Lowery, Leo McLean, Oliver Bennett, Daniel Bradshaw, George Dennis, Arjun Jnr. Bhinda and Lauren Streeting. Woking Bedser Schools Cricket Scholarship Programme SCF, in partnership with local businesses, runs a school’s cricket programme in Woking, in honour of Sir Alec and Eric Bedser. The Bedser brothers grew up and were educated in Woking. Both Alec and Eric represented Surrey CCC and Alec went on to play for England. This programme aims to identify six children that are not currently in the Surrey CCC player pathway who have the potential to become performance cricketers. The scholarship includes cricket equipment vouchers, club subscription for 2017, one-to-one coaching, a bespoke five- week group coaching course, a bespoke cricket shirt and tickets to attend a match at the Kia Oval. The 2016 Bedser Scholars were; Ollie Bell, Tilley Harries, Charlotte Lambert, Ramish Malik, Alex McPherson and Jude Silverton. Our thanks go to the Bedser Scholarship Working group for all their support in making this programme a success. School’s Day Working with Surrey CCC, the SCF once again helped to deliver a successful School’s Day at the Kia Oval in 2016. The day saw over 5,000 children from around 90 primary and secondary schools at the Kia Oval to watch the Specsavers County Championship Match between Surrey and Middlesex, as well as enjoy a day of activities and other attractions around the ground. The day aims to enthuse children and create a new generation of cricket fans. COMMUNITIES The SCF communities programme offers different formats that are outside the traditional cricketing environments. Activity includes a range of different opportunities such as the Chance to Shine Street Programme, Urban cricket, Informal cricket, Last Man Stands and activity in local Colleges and Universities.

The summer weather has not lived up to expectations. Who mentioned climate change? England have continued to make great progress in Test matches but their performances in One Day Internationals still leaves a lot to be desired. The difficult tour to South Africa this winter will be good preparation for next year’s Ashes series. Is the Aussie team growing old together or will they come up with some interesting replacements? Perhaps there are a few playing in the Championship this summer!! At the time of writing Worcester are struggling. After a reasonable start, relegation is on the cards in the Championship, whilst promotion in the Totesport League is in the balance.

ANY CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING 'OVAL WORLD' SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO MARCUS HOOK AT FLAT 1, 67 BIRDHURST RISE, SOUTH CROYDON, SURREY, CR2 7EJ or E-MAIL [email protected] FIRST INNINGS – PARTNERSHIPS, PATIENCE AND PRESSURE by Marcus Hook Much water has passed under the bridge since the last edition of Oval World, to such an extent this is the first one since Michael Di Venuto's appointment as Surrey's head coach. 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.

  • Stokes' Late Strike Puts England Even
    SPORTS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2016 Younis leads Pakistan charge ABU DHABI: Younis Khan showed no signs of weakness after recovering from dengue fever to score a brilliant century as Pakistan dominated the opening day of the second Test against the West Indies in Abu Dhabi yes- terday. The 38-year-old, who missed Pakistan’s 56-run victory in the first Test in Dubai with illness, smashed 127 to carry Pakistan, who won the toss, to 304-4 at the close at Sheikh Zayed Stadium. Younis finally holed out to deep mid-wicket off part- timer Kraigg Brathwaite after five hours at the crease, with fading light prompting the umpires to halt the day six overs before the scheduled close. Skipper Misbah- ul-Haq was unbeaten on 90 — just ten runs short of his 11th hundred as Pakistan’s batsmen dominated on a batting-friendly pitch. Younis, who hit ten boundaries and a six, added 175 for the fourth wicket with Misbah and 87 for the third with Asad Shafiq who made 68. It was again the two veteran batsmen-Younis and Misbah- who put Pakistan on track for another big total with their 15th hundred partnership in 49 innings. Misbah, who has now equalled Imran Khan’s record of most Test matches as Pakistan captain with 48, hit two sixes and four boundaries as he worked in tandem with Younis to build an imposing total. West Indies CHITTAGONG: Bangladesh’s Tamim Iqbal defenses a yorker ball during the second day of their first cricket test match were guilty of sloppy fielding with Younis dropped on against England in Chittagong, Bangladesh, yesterday.

  • THE HOLY GRAIL by Marcus Hook
    www.ovalworld-online.com/itsasurreything.htm VOLUME.28 ISSUE NUMBER.3 START OF THE SEASON 2015 EDITED BY MARCUS HOOK PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS NEWSLETTER ARE PURELY PERSONAL OPINIONS. ANY CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING 'OVAL WORLD' SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO MARCUS HOOK AT FLAT 1, 67 BIRDHURST RISE, SOUTH CROYDON, SURREY, CR2 7EJ or E-MAIL [email protected] FIRST INNINGS - THE HOLY GRAIL by Marcus Hook Surrey may only be two matches into the new season, however it's already clear that climbing out of Division Two of the County Championship will be far from easy. The alliance of the number one batsman in the world, a resurgent Steven Davies and the new found consistency of Rory Burns, sees Surrey's batting in fine fettle. But whereas batsmen (especially those capable of saving a match) are worth their weight in gold in Division One, the best guarantee of promotion in Division Two is bowling sides out twice. Surrey have taken twenty wickets in just ten of their last 47 championship matches. The Essex game underlined that without an overseas fast bowler, experienced England qualified bowlers or both, the holy grail of 20 wickets will be hard to come by; and even harder on surfaces such as the one Glamorgan served up for Surrey's championship curtain-raiser. Given that you need to win a fair proportion of your matches to finish in the top two of the second division, playing on spicy 'result' pitches is a definite advantage. It's a difficult one because if Surrey see themselves challenging for the championship title in a few years time, taking cheap wickets on helpful surfaces will not prepare the likes of Tom Curran and Matt Dunn for bowling to the best batsmen in the country.
