To continue Alan's legacy in what will be the 24th tour of South Africa in October, we have launched an online auction to help raise funds and keep costs down for our young players 👇
www.zeffy.com/en-GB/ticket...
#DevonCricket | #PrideInTheLion
🏏 What began in 2002 as an ambitious idea has grown into a yearly tradition that has shaped over 300 young cricketers, taking them out of their comfort zones, immersing them in competitive cricket in unfamiliar conditions and creating memories that last a lifetime.
#DevonCricket | #PrideInTheLion
