This is the Under 13 cricket team that I manage, Kegworth Town U13 A team.
This summer, despite the weather they have endured, they have.....
Won their District Cup.
Reached the semi final of the County Cup.
Won their League.
Today they played in their District Final, against the winners of the league in the other part of our district. They won. We scored 107 off our 20 overs, and then restricted our opposition to 80 off 20 overs, winning by 27 runs.
We are now through to the County league semi-final next sunday.
These boys are mature beyond their years. Their spirit has to be seen to be believed. They never give up, they never let their heads go down, they have immense self belief in themselves and their team mates.
It is an honour and privilege to manage and coach them. Being their coach is a highlight of my life, they have made me a better coach with the attitude they bring to the game.
My son Ben is far left on the back row.
This photo was taken after the game, when most of them had changed footwear from white cricket shoes to something with more street cred!!
Congratulations Sean!!!!!!! Your Hard Work Paid Off! I Bet they are Proud to have you as a Coach and you can tell by this picture how Proud you are to have Coached Them! Love the Uniforms! :)
