Where are the juniors?
CAN it really be true that the counties of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Berkshire, Surrey, Essex, Sussex and Kent cannot muster one entry between them for this year’s English Under-14 Championship and English Under-16 Championship?
And what is happening in the Midlands? Two entries for the Under-14s!
We have done so much good work in the south over the past few years to close the gap to the north. What is it that is stopping players from entering? Are their coaches or parents holding them back? Are they just not aware of these events? It baffles me.
This season’s Under-14 southern qualifiers will be hosted by Frames Sports Bar, Coulsdon, on Saturday, November 10. The Under-16s is at the same club the following day.
Both events will use a round-robin format, best-of-three in the Under-14s and best-of-five in the Under-16s.
Under-14 entry fee is £15 for EASB members £25 for non-members. Closing date is November 3.
Under-16 entry fee is £20 for EASB members £30 for non-members. Closing date is November 4.
