The opportunity for a cricket team at any primary or junior school in Yorkshire to play on the world-famous pitch at Headingley Carnegie Stadium next summer is now underway with the Drax Cup 2012!
The Drax Cup is the biggest cricket competition for the Under 9s age group in the country and continues to attract hundreds of schools every year.
Registration for 2012 is now open and all those involved in sport at primary schools – partnership development managers, school games organisers and individual teachers – are being urged to make sure their schools get the chance to take part.
All you need to do is email draxcup@yorkshirecb.com with your Partnership or individual school name and contact details. Partnerships can also provide details to the Yorkshire Cricket Board cricket development manager for their region.
A registration pack and copy of the rules are available for download on the right hand side of this page. The documents have further details about how to get involved and precisely how the competition works.
Alwoodley Primary School from Leeds are the current Drax Cup holders and will be hoping to lift the trophy for the third year in a row having retained the cup in 2011.
Other past winners are: Westville House Primary School, Ilkley (2009), High View Learning Centre, Wombwell, near Barnsley (2008) and Wheatlands Primary School, Redcar (2007).
The competition is sponsored by Drax Power Limited and organised by The Yorkshire County Cricket Club in conjunction with Yorkshire Cricket Board and Yorkshire Schools’ Cricket Association.
The Drax Cup is part of the company’s Cricket In The Community scheme which provides cricket coaching in schools to support education and to promote sports learning as part of the National Curriculum, which is supported by Yorkshire Cricket Board.
