Young Cricket Enthusiasts Win Big at Cornwall Cricket Holiday Camps
Cornwall Cricket Board is excited to announce the winners of the annual prize draw for children attending their popular holiday camps. Each year, all participants are entered into a draw for a chance to win a wooden cricket bat of their choice. This year, seven-year-old Arthur Gunn was one of the two lucky winners.
Arthur, who has been attending Cornwall Cricket’s holiday camps regularly, says he loves the camps because he gets to see his friends, learn new cricket skills, and, above all, have lots of fun. His mum, Jodie, praised the programme, saying, “Arthur always comes home saying he’s had the best day. The coordinators are fantastic – they’re friendly, connect well with the kids, and create a fun, safe environment where I know Arthur will be looked after.”
Cornwall Cricket Holiday Camps provide a fantastic opportunity for young players of all abilities to develop their cricket skills, build friendships, and immerse themselves in the joy of the game. With expert coaching, fun drills, and plenty of matches, the camps are designed to inspire a love of cricket in a supportive setting. Whether they’re seasoned players or trying cricket for the first time, every child has the chance to learn, play, and make unforgettable memories.
Chris Anderson, a Holiday Activity Coach with Cornwall Cricket, emphasised the camps’ impact: “As a coach, it’s inspiring to see the excitement and growth in these young players. Each day is packed with activities that build skills, boost confidence, and promote teamwork. Watching kids develop their cricket abilities and form new friendships is amazing. Join us this holiday for a cricket experience filled with learning, playing, and tons of fun!”
Cornwall Cricket Board’s holiday camps run throughout the year and are open to all young cricket enthusiasts eager to experience the thrill of the sport in a friendly and inclusive atmosphere.
