Everyone and anyone is catered for in our county, regardless of ability – we’re a big county with a range of coaches and we feel that if we can make our county better, then we’re one step closer to developing cricket across the nation.” Jonathan Mears Chair of the DCBCA said "he was honoured to recieve the award for all the Tutors who have been and are involved in the Devon family but especially for Martin Webb, who was absent, who had been and was the driving force behind everything".
