Tropical Sky are helping to support sport in their local area. Scaynes Hill Cricket Club have benefited from a substantial sponsorship deal which will assist them to improve facilities at the club for the ever growing junior players section.

I have played at the club myself for many years and in fact grew up learning to play cricket within the club. Coaching has massively improved over the years and has evolved from a few keen dads including my own father giving up loads of their time to help lads like me learn to play and love the game.

Now things are a whole lot more serious with all contributors being trained to be a coach and of course the police vetting that all individuals need nowadays so that parents like me can be happy to entrust our kids to them.

I am delighted to help out the club financially as I think some sports such as cricket are not supported as they should be by the state and it is often kids’ only chance to experience the game through privately run clubs. Interestingly I was recently at a function where Sir Ian Botham was the key speaker along with a few of the regular pundits from the cricket world and this very fact was clearly represented by the audience and the panel of experts.

I wish all at Scaynes Hill the very best with their forthcoming cricket season.
