Alphington Cricket Club

Bowhill Primary School
St Thomas Primary School
Montgomery Primary School
Alphington Primary School
St Sidwells Primary School
Stoke Hill Primary School


Who's been doing the coaching:-  
Jack Bradbury (Exeter University), Paul Diamond

Good News / Case Studies:-

  • 2014 saw real links develop with Montgomery Primary and also Bowhill Primary, which saw increased migration to the cricket club meaning in 2015 a new youth team can be setup at the club. Four full new members will compliment the continuation of five other C2S migrants from last year to make an eight a side team which is great news!
  • 17 out of 39 teams which attended the 'Exeter Primary Schools Festival' at Topsham St James CC in June this year were from the Alphington schools. Brilliant game based practice for the children involved, but also amazing buy-in from the schools to attend.

2015, Whats the plan?

  1. Continue to build upon the good work undertaken in 2013 / 2014.
  2. Cement links with the primary schools which will be sustained once C2S is support is withdrawn.
  3. Deliver a trimmed down programme that continues to enthuse the children of each Primary school to choose cricket.
  4. Liaise with West Exe Secondary to potentially deliver a satellite club.
