North Runcton youth coach scoops accolade

North Runcton Cricket Club is delighted to announce that head youth coach Joshy Ring was the winner of the England Cricket Board Young Coach of the Year Award 2018, a prestigious, well-earned and worthy award.

Recognised for his hard work, dedication and delivery to the sport, Ring has an ECB Level II qualification.

Ring runs the thriving youth section at the club, organising coaching over the winter months as well as the summer outdoor programme and taking responsibility for under-11, under-13, under-15 and under-19 teams.

Three of the club’s talented youth players, Lucas Triffitt, Phoenix Sherry and Sri Sivaraman have once again been selected by the Norfolk Cricket Board this year to represent the County in the U14 team for the 2019 season.

The club wish them every success in representing the county.

A priority for 2019 is the development of girls’ cricket at Runcton, which the club sees as an essential part of the future of the sport and North Runcton Cricket Club itself.
