"The 18th June 2013 saw the sad passing of Southgate Adelaide and Enfield Cricket Development Partership's (ECDP) Chairman John Morris. To all those that knew John he was a cricket lover and was dedicated to promoting grassroots cricket in Enfield. That is why he took the helm of the ECDP, to promote all clubs and the game in Hertfordshire/Middlesex. The group still meets and is committed to carrying on the good work that John started. The following article is a piece that John wrote to introduce ECDP at the beginning of the 2013 season. Informative, yet easy to read, the article also demonstrates John's great sense of humour......."
CRICKETLOVELYCRICKETLOVELYCRICKETLOVELYCRICKETLOVELYCRICKET The newly formed Enfield Cricket Development Partnership are quickly establishing themselves as 'leading lights' in the promotion of borough cricket through their 10 club association-ship since their formation during the 2012 season. The formalisation of the group followed a succession of meetings over a 2 year period of consultation at which all aspects of club cricket were discussed. As John Morris of Southgate Adelaide Cricket Club, the inaugural Chairman, pointed out, " from the outset the club representatives were encouraged to leave their club bias loyalties at the door and consider the wider issue of promoting the game at all levels. This helped set the scene for more open conversation and a sharing of views on many subjects including, funding opportunities, coach education, colts development and Middlesex Cricket Boards (MCB) directives". A pre-requisite of joining the Partnership is for each club to be Clubmark accredited or are working towards gaining this status. The Clubmark initiative is a Sports England scheme delivered by the ECB via the MCB whereby all affiliated sports are required to attain an approved level competence in the running of their respective club's taking in health & safety, coach education and criminal records checks, insurance liability, development plans, members registration and many other associated issues, all held in a document file available for inspection, by arrangement. While this scheme is targeted at colts (boys & girls) activities, it also has wider implications for senior cricket and helps ensure that the clubs are properly run and provide a safe, sporting environment. John added that "the Partnership now has the full responsibility for organising the Enfield Borough trials, training and the inter Borough matches including taking on local rivals, Barnet. We have a full programme of sessions from which a squad of young players will be selected for each of under 10's, 12's and 14's age groups, taken from the players nominated by local schools, clubs plus players not included in the existing county squads. This is all part of the ECB's pathway to County or even International representation, who knows we might find a new Freddy Flintoff or Captain Cook!" The MCB also operates the Chance to Shine programme, whereby selected club coaches go into schools offering cricket to pupils by way of small game matches, introduction to the game and teaching staff support, as required. Again, the organisation and deliverance of this important scheme now comes under the control of the ECDP with the participating clubs being confirmed members of the Partnership. The volunteer clubs work with local junior schools, maintaining a report system to the MCB. The Partnership look forward to building their profile throughout the Borough and welcome any new clubs wishing to join, giving them support as required. "We are an ambitious group of like minded club representatives with a passion for the game at all levels, including the ever growing ladies teams! If you know what I mean!" John concluded. |
