CRICKET: Cookley have begun a search for young players on the eve of the new Worcestershire League campaign.

Net practice will be on Monday and Thursday nights at the club's Lea Lane headquarters from 6pm.

Chairman Phil Dixon said: "While we have enjoyed considerable success on the field over the past couple of seasons sadly there have not been many youngsters coming through the ranks.

"Youngsters from the village will be the club's life-blood in the future so we need to get more of them playing."

Anyone interested can contact secretary Richard Matthews on 01562 66512.
