DUMBLETON launch three new coaching programmes in schools for the new term.

With support from Gloucestershire Cricket Board, Oak Hill Primary in Alderton, Sedgeberrow First and Winchcombe Secondary will have more than 40 hours of coaching over six weeks as part of ECB Chance to Shine.

The sessions will be aimed at years three and four although they hope more girls will play at Winchcombe.

Dumbleton junior manager Peter Boorman said: “It’s a really great way to get more youngsters enjoying the game as well as helping us build closer relationships between the club and schools.”
