Lowerhouse CC are pleased to announce a major boost for their junior coaching with the establishment of the Harry Brooks Cricket Foundation

Lowerhouse Director Mark Whitehead was responsible for the arrangement . He said ” We are enormously grateful for this investment from Harry . It is marvellous to have a generous local benefactor supporting our cause. We spend between £5k and £8k per year on our juniors and whilst the parents dig deep into their pockets, the club has to find a huge sum also . This is a tremendous help to us and will guarantee that we can continue to strive to give the children the best coaching , the best training and the optimum of game opportunities that we possibly can . We think with this investment that we can raise the bar higher and as a starting point we will increase our junior sides to 14 this season . ”

Harry , who will fund the Foundation said ” It did my heart good to see the kids enjoying their cricket and to support this good work. It was a delight to see the youngsters learning the game and clearly enjoying themselves “
