Review of the Academy Programme 6. Academy roll of honour 1. Introduction There are currently 18 ECB funded county academies. The purpose of the county academy system is to develop players capable of performing at first class and International level. Academy programmes are holistic in their approach and deliver a balance of technical, tactical, physical, mental, leadership and lifestyle skills. Established in 2003, the Kent Cricket Academy gives talented young cricketers, aged 16 – 19, an opportunity to benefit from professional training and education whilst still at school or college. The Academy aims to develop home grown players and prepare them for a future in the professional game. The introduction of an ‘associate’ academy aims to provide additional support and development opportunities to players, aged 16 – 19, who have the future potential to gain a place on the full academy programme. The aim is to provide greater opportunity and visibility to a larger number of players within an elite environment. Players on the associate programme will also be able to access high quality coaching and sports science support that incorporates a 'total life' approach. They will also have the opportunity at key points throughout the year to be moved through to the full academy programme. The Emerging Players Programme (EPP) will provide additional support and development opportunities to players aged 14 – 16 and is a comprehensive and structured programme designed to help young players with the transition between the county age group squads and our academy programmes.

  • SCHOOLS REVIEW 2015 by Douglas Henderson Wicket-Keepers Get A
    SCHOOLS REVIEW 2015 by Douglas Henderson Wicket-keepers get a pretty raw deal as there are no statistics to show their keeping skills. However, when a wicket-keeper has far more more stumpings than catches, that really is something. George Lavelle, of Merchant Taylors’, Crosby, was still only in Year 10 but after three years in the XI he has taken 40 stumpings to 32 catches. He was captain of Lancashire Under-15s (champion county) and has won several awards. He would probably also have scored 1000 runs had he not being playing for his club on several Saturdays. Clearly a name to watch. Not many cricketers read the Laws of the game. The Spirit of Cricket is admittedly only a pre-amble rather than part of the actual Laws; in a woolly sense it is (part of the Laws) because Law 42 says that The responsibility lies with the captains for ensuring that play is conducted within the spirit and traditions of the game, as described in The Preamble – The Spirit of Cricket, as well as within the Laws. Anyway, the Spirit of the Game describes it as “cheating” or “sharp practice” to seek to distract an opponent either verbally or by harassment with persistent clapping or unnecessary noise under the guise of enthusiasm and motivation of one’s own side (my emphasis). Many people, admittedly of an older generation, can’t bear watching schools cricket any more because of the nonsense that nowadays goes with it: ludicrous noise, clapping, shouting, everybody called Buddy or Fella, wides applauded with cries of “well bowled”, catches greeted as if you’ve just won the football World Cup etc etc.

He spoke about the high num- ber of foodborne illnesses in a specific year due to clusters around the island. Rock noted the source of some of the cases was due to the poor preparation of meat, lack of water where the food was prepared, poor hand- washing hygiene, and contami- nated tamarind snow cone syrup.

  • Sussex Sharks V. Kent Spitfires Royal London One-Day Cup, South Group the 1St Central County Ground, Hove
    Sussex Sharks v. Kent Spitfires Royal London One-Day Cup, South Group The 1st Central County Ground, Hove. Thursday 17th May 2018. Luke Wells produced an impressive all-round performance as Sussex Sharks got their Royal London One-Day Cup campaign off to a winning start against Kent Spitfires at The 1st Central County Ground. Playing only his seventh game in the competition and his first for nearly two years, Wells took 2-30 with his leg spin as Kent were dismissed for 188. He then anchored Sussex’s response with 62 from 89 balls before skipper Ben Brown made an unbeaten 73 to lead his side to a seven-wicket win with 10.1 overs to spare. Kent hopes had been raised by two early breakthroughs. Luke Wright (4) nicked Mitch Claydon to slip and Harry Finch (9) was caught behind off Matt Henry to leave Sussex 19-2. Wells played watchfully at first before picking up the pace. He reached his maiden List A 50 with a drive down the ground for his seventh four and added two more boundaries before Henry returned to knock back his leg stump and end a stand of 107 in 22 overs with Brown. Brown passed 50 for the sixth time in List A cricket, his runs coming off 86 balls with six fours. Laurie Evans supported him with 38 not out in an unbroken fourth-wicket stand of 63 in 12.2 overs. Earlier, Kent won the toss but were dismissed with 6.3 overs unused and were about 40-50 runs under par on a pitch with few demons apart from occasional low bounce.
