Wharves Under-15 camp draws to a close

The Kingston Wharves Under-15 Cricket Competition 2011 will conclude this weekend with the end of a three-day cricket camp tomorrow at Sabina Park.

Thirty of the best cricketers who competed in the all-island competition are in the process of intense training, which began on Thursday. Michael Frew of Westmoreland, who was the man of the match in the final between Westmoreland and St Andrew, heads the list of campers. Other campers include Bradley Jacks, Jason Tapper, Orande Pearson and Saad Ahmed. Eleven of the 14 parishes are represented at the camp.

In addition to theory and practical sessions on the game of cricket, the campers have been exposed to special presentations on drugs in sport, media training, personal etiquette, umpiring decisions and a tour of the Kingston Wharf where a career talk will be given today. Christopher Taylor, who was recently appointed to the regional panel, will speak on umpiring while Wavel Hinds is also scheduled to make a presentation to the campers.

The camp is led by national coach Junior Bennett along with umpire Milton Thomas, national U15 coach Terrence Corke and the most successful primary school coach Grantley Reid out of Westmoreland.

A 40-over cricket match will be played tomorrow, the final day which will be used to test the areas covered during the camp.
