We are delighted to announce that our very own James May has won the Devon Cricket Outstanding Service to Coaching Award as chosen by the Devon Cricket Board!
James has made a significant contribution to the colts set up since it was restarted by him and Jock Spry back in 2003. James has overseen an colts programme which started with around six colts on a Friday night and has grown to over 100 registered youth players, in his 18 years of service. That is a lot of youth cricketers that have gone through James’ sessions! He has successfully applied for Clubmark status on two occasions, safeguarded youth cricket by being heavily involved with the purchase of the ground and has been practically ever present at Thorverton’s Friday night training sessions since 2003.
Congratulations to James who I’m sure everyone will agree is a well deserved winner and deserves such an accolade.
James will be invited to a day at Derbyshire CCC to help celebrate his achievements with the ECB’s other county winners.
