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 π

#DevonCricket | #PrideInTheLion
π 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
πΏπ¦ One of Alan Swift's greatest legacies is that no child should ever be denied the opportunity to take part in the Under 15 Boys Tour of South Africa because of financial barriers.

π±π° Ann-Marie Presswell, Paul Heard, Maisie Barr, Beth Holmes and Ellie White reflect on last month's Tour of Sri Lanka π
www.devoncricket.co.uk/sri-lanka-to...
#DevonCricket | #HerGameToo π | #PrideInTheLion
π£οΈ "Sri Lanka proved to be a superb country for both personal and cricket development. I hope the players take the time to reflect and share the incredible experience we had."
#DevonCricket | #HerGameToo π | #PrideInTheLion
π£οΈ "I believe it has strengthened my game. The Sri Lankan people are so friendly, and even though games were competitive at the end of the day, it was fun, laughter and group photos."
#DevonCricket | #HerGameToo π | #PrideInTheLion
π£οΈ "The cricket so far has been an amazing experience and definitely one I will never forget. Playing in Sri Lanka has been challenging, but I feel that has made us work harder to support each other through the game."

π±π° Sri Lanka so far... πΈ
π Challenging conditions have provided the Under 15 Girls with strong learning opportunities, resulting in excellent tactical and individual development aligned with the tour's aims.
