This week saw the first All Stars cricket coaching session at Fordhouses Cricket Club. The club’s Director of Cricket, Chris Guest, was delighted with the turn out. “It was great to see so many young kids trying cricket for the first time, despite the rainy weather! I look forward to seeing them progress in the forthcoming weeks”.
