School link in search for the next Freddie - Report from Dorset Echo

Portland Red Triangle and All Saints School are hoping to discover the next Freddie Flintoff. The two have combined to agree a partnership that will involve the use of Wyke Regis school's new sports hall to provide coaching opportunities on a regular basis. The scheme is part of Triangle's planned development of their facilities and boosting of links with the community.

Club secretary Grant Neven said: "The club are excited by the opportunities that this partnership will present. Over the last couple of years Portland Red Triangle has worked hard to take cricket into local schools and this partnership, along with our existing one at Royal Manor Arts College, helps us do just that."

The first coaching session will take place tomorrow at All Saints School and they will continue throughout the school year in term time until Easter. Sessions run from 6pm-8pm and are free and open to anyone over the age of 10 regardless of ability.

Neven added: "We look forward to the sessions which will provide the chance for those already involved in cricket to practice and improve their skills. They also provide the opportunity for those wishing to take up the game a chance to develop the skills needed."

All sessions will be manned by qualified coaches and club members. For further details contact Grant Neven on 01305-750490.
