YOUNG players at Barnard Castle Junior Cricket Club are looking forward to the visit of top female cricket coach Pauline Peel on Wednesday.

The club has also been asked to run one of the Durham Cricket Board's summer H J Banks and Sportsmatch cricket roadshows.

This takes the form of a three-day coaching course on August 11, 12 and 13 from 9.30 to 4.30.

The sessions are aimed at boys and girls aged between nine and 16.

The charge for the total package will be £15 and parents can book a place by contacting secretary Tony Thompson on any training night between 7 and 8pm.
