Derbyshire Players Presentation Evening in association with Hunters Land Rover Derby

Jon Green (Hunters General Manager) and Selected DCCC Professional Players handed out the awards at the DCB’s annual Player Presentation event at the County Ground.

The Derbyshire Players Presentation Evening is aimed at recognising the performances and achievements of all County Players.

The Fitness & Fielding and Knowledge Sessions are pre Christmas programmes for the Winter County Players (Ages 12-15). For 2009, 33 Boys and 26 Girls are involved with the programme. The aim of this programme is to develop a player’s fitness levels, and fielding skills and also have the opportunity to develop their understanding of the ‘Game’ of Cricket. So far we have had Alan Davies (DCB ACO Chairman) leading a session of the ‘Laws’ of Cricket and also Howard Dytham (Mini Academy Head Coach) leading a session on ‘Field settings’.

The Under 10 and 11 Squads are starting a similar programme which starts on the 14^th November. Long Term Player Development Coach Jon Dyson and County U11’s Coach Gareth Marshall are leading the programme. Over 50 players are involved with the programme and the aim is to get them physically prepared for the post Christmas sessions.

The DCB are also running ‘Specialist Clinics’ for Pace Bowling, Spin Bowling, Batting and Wicket keeping. The aim of these programmes is to work with specific players within squads and support their development during the winter months.
