Youth policy is paying dividends for Triangle

by Dorset Echo's Hilda Swinney

THE achievements and efforts of Portland Red Triangle both on and off the pitch were recognised at the annual awards presentation evening.

The event was held at the Blues Club in Grove Road where chairman Conrad Cole welcomed players and friends.

"A great deal has happened this season with bat and ball," said Mr Cole as he gave a resume of the year's sporting and social events and he had a special thanks for Jeff and Pauline Daniels of the George Inn for their sponsorship, partnership and hospitality.

He added: "The push this season has been to give people who want to, the opportunity to play cricket, to bring new faces - and in some cases not so new - into the club.

He had great praise for the youngsters who have joined the ranks and even greater praise for the seniors who give their time to coaching them."

Talking of the potential shown by these young players, Mr Cole said: "One day they will certainly be enhancing the name and reputation of our club and we must continue to put youth cricket at the top of our agenda and provide an environment in which they can flourish and enjoy playing for Red Triangle."

He also spoke of the recently formed partnership with the Royal Manor Arts College and the 'excellent sponsor' that the club had gained in Rupert Best of Portland Port.

Awards were presented by Club President Brian Riley, assisted by Club Captain Richard Stewkesbury and the evening was completed with a buffet and dancing to the Rob Antony Roadshow.
