DCB U11's win Shrewsbury Festival
When you need to win the last match of a tournament and you are 40 for 6 against Huntingdonshire, with your top 6 batsmen out, what thoughts go through the head of an 11 year old? I would suggest that this is hard question to answer even in normal circumstances! Whatever went through their heads, their actions demonstrated some fight in their bellies as our Derbyshire boys nudged, scampered and then smashed their way to 160. Click on picture for full story

Four from U15's make it into Midlands Squad
	Four players from the Derbyshire U15 side have been selected to play for the Midlands U15 Squad at the Bunbury Festival in Cheshire later this month. Michael Mitchell, Harry White, Greg Cork and Adam Wheatcroft were all selected after a lengthy and rigorous process of trials over the last few months. Michael Mitchell will have the added responsibility of captaining the side against the 3 other regions between 26th and 30th July when they will play 50 over matches and 20/20 games at the end of the week. Mini Academy Head Coach, Howard Dytham, said "This is an absolutely fantastic achievement for all 4 lads. Michael, Greg and Harry have worked so hard all winter on the Mini Academy programme whilst Adam is still enjoying his first season in County Age Group cricket and has started really well. To have 4 players from Derbyshire in a squad of 14 is brilliant."

Under 10's bounce back in record style!!
A determined U10s wrote history (at least according to the records on play-cricket!) today by becoming the first Derbyshire team at this age group to score over 200 in an innings. A truly outstanding effort off only 30 overs. The foundation was laid by an excellent opening stand of 65 between openers Ben Chapman-Lilley (23) and Nathan Snookes (43), followed by a punishing partnership of 85 for the fourth wicket by Alfie Gleadall (45) and Raza Ahmed (35). Between these four batsmen 18 boundaries were scored and this was matched by running between wickets of the highest standard...... Click on picture for this and further U10 match reports
