Budding Freddie Flintoffs (from left) Lucy Harrison, Ruth Pollard and Sam Marshall are taught the rudiments of cricket by members of Pershore Cricket Club as part of the Chance To Shine scheme run by the England and Wales Cricket Board to boost the game at the grassroots. Coaches including (from left) John Brookes, Trevor Ridings and Martin Johnson have been going into the town's schools to teach 632 youngsters some of the skills that excited them during the Ashes series. The club has received a cheque for £1,000 to thank them for their hard work during the 12-week course, which took place during term time and the summer holidays. Picture by Emma Attwood. 39775301
