TAUNTON Cricket Club launched its first summer coaching programme this year, in association with Cooper Associates and Pro Coaching.
Throughout the week, 45 children from all over Somerset trained with some of the best coaches in the region.
Past and present Somerset stars, Ben Phillips and Tom Abell, were there to give special one-to-one time to some of the youngsters, and also had to field some testing questions during a question and answer session.
Following the success of this year’s course, the week-long programme will become an annual event at Taunton CC at the start of the school holidays in July.
