Congratulations to all the boys that were nominated and attended the pre-season coaching sessions. We attempted a different format this year and tried to alleviate the pain and heartache that goes with a one off trial. We also wanted to make sure that everyone learnt something from these sessions and that it gave them a great start to the season.
Once again, well done to the boys that attended; we asked for enthusiasm and good attitude and were richly rewarded with both by the bucket load. The clubs can be proud of their nominations and we sincerely hope that everyone enjoyed themselves and learnt something.
It should be noted that this year is an introduction to NH cricket and we are looking to concentrate on developing a strong base for the future. With this in mind, from the 41 boys that were nominated we will be asking 24 boys to continue a programme of extra coaching and fixtures through the rest of the season. However, this should not be considered as a last chance saloon for those that do not make this squad - we hope to give these boys some feedback and areas to work on for the season, to enable them to come back stronger next year.
Thanks, in particular, to my support coaches; Don Hastie and Colin Marshall. Also, a big thanks to all the parents who respected what we were trying to accomplish and supported us throughout the process - we look forward to your continued support throughout the season.
Blog you soon - keep in touch with this forum and I will try and update regularly.
