The Development of Excellence scheme, which runs at weekends at Langford for invitef cricketers aged from 7 to 15 provides more advanced for 95 young players. The Langford Academy will provide coaching for the better players from each age group from Under 12 and above and will involve 56 young players.
The senior men are preparing for the ECC Division II Championships with net sessions at Langford on Sunday evenings and the Women's group meet every Wednesday at Grainville.
