Durham's aspiring young cricketers are being given a chance to hone their skills during the long winter months with a series of courses provided by Durham County Cricket Club's players and coaches.
Ten cricket skill sessions will be held at Fyndoune School in Sacriston every Thursday 6-8pm starting on October 3. Each week the session will concentrate on different skills from Turn and Burn which teaches spin bowling techniques to Hit It Harder the art of hitting fours and sixes.
The session will cost £2 each and will be open to boys and girls aged between 10-15. Former England opening batsman Geoff Cook who is Academy Director at Durham, and John Windows who is the assistant Academy coach will be taking each session with guest appearances from Durham players.
Anyone who is interested in taking part in any of the sessions should contact John Windows on (0191) 3871717.
