Truro College Cricket Academy group about to travel to Sri Lanka for a coaching camp in Colombo.
Itinerary - Fly from Heathrow on Thursday 18th March to Colombo. Start training camp immediately we arrive. Train at one of top grounds in Sri Lanka - England played there in 2007 - for 8 days with coaching organised by the Global Cricket School (who run the ECB overseas training programmes and also most first class counties winter overseas programmes) .
A typical day would be something like 830 am til midday - training session using quality local bowlers - particularly spin bowlers - for batmen to practice techniques and skills in sub continent conditions. The pitches are much drier and produce more spin and bounce than we are used to. Bowlers and wicket keepers also practice in tough conditions - heat, not much in it for seam bowlers etc. Midday get out of 40 degree heat for a few hours and return to team hotel. Late afternoon Fielding and fitness sessions at team hotel - running/swimming/stretching/strength/tactical and fielding practice. Evening - dinner and early to bed ready for early start each day Return Friday 26th March Tour party
The party of 16 ( 3 coaches and 13 players ) is headed by myself, Sean Hooper, Director Truro College Cricket Academy with Academy coaches Chris Hunkin and Nigel Sanders also going. Players include Cornwall's youngest ever Minor County player Taylor Williams from St Austell CC- who is on the Notts Academy - Premier league players Paul Smith ( Werrington) and Jake Libby ( Callington ) plus players from several other Cornish clubs including Falmouth, Truro, Newquay and Hayle. It should be an unforgettable trip with a high quality, intense cricket coaching environment and great preparation for the 2010 season.
Truro College's first fixture for 2010 is against Truro School in the new Under 17 National 40 over competition and the fixture list includes 2 games away against Nottinghamshire Academy/Under 17s and games against other cricket academies. Truro College are currently South West champions both indoors and outdoors and the fantastic new cricket facilities at the Cornwall Cricket Centre onsite have provided a great environment for the winter training programme which gives the players up to 10 and a half hours cricket each week throughout the year.
After a fantastic winter's traiinng in the excellent new facilities at Truro College the players can't wait to get outdoors and put their hard work into action. Those going to Sri Lanka will be embarking on an intense and high quality training camp using fabulous outdoor facilities and local coaches and practising against high quality cricketers - particularly spin bowlers. This can only benefit the development of our young players and ultimately the standard of cricket in Cornwall as a whole. It is a very exciting opportunity for all of the players and I look forward to seeing how they cope with the challenging weather and cricket conditions they will come up against - they need to be working outside of their comfort zones to really develop fully"

Following Brian ' Condor' Holder's sad death last year Steve Raven took over as St Austell 1st XI scorer and did an excellent job. Steve has decided to play again and will captain the club's 4th team with a view to helping develop some of the club's younger players so there is a vacancy for a 1st XI scorer. Anyone interested in the role which involves scoring, calculating over rates and liaising with the local media as well as providing a cricketing support level of information to the team should contact Development Officer Sean Hooper or any club committee member in the first instance. There is no payment for the role but a really good cricket tea is provided!! Sean Hooper ; 07782187463 or email sales@thecornishcricketcompany.co.uk

Sadly the death has been reported of former Helston and Newquay cricketer Graham Drew. Following his retirement from playing he reported cricket for both BBC Radio Cornwall and Atlantic FM in recent years. He was also chairman of Newquay AFC and reported both football and cricket for the Newquay Voice newspaper. Notification of his death, on Saturday 23 January, and numerous tributes appear on the Cornish Soccer website forum.
He was a member of a Helston sporting family. Together with his three brothers, Tony, Peter and Barry, he played for Helston Cricket Club and represented the county at badminton. In a change of career he moved from managing a building society to the teaching profession around 1974 and began as Helston's second eleven wicket keeper. He progressed to become the first eleven's slow left arm bowler and annually featured well up the old Senior Division One Bowling Averages. He took 50 wickets in 1981 and 60 wickets in 1987, at an average of 13.96, finishing fifth in the standings. In 1995 he moved to Newquay and immediately took 40 wickets in County Division 2 in his first season for the club. He represented Cornwall Over Fifties making 24 championship appearances between 2000 and 2005.
Grahams Funeral Service will be held on the pitch at Mount Wise Football Ground, Newquay on Thursday 4th February 2010. Kick Off time is 1330 (one thirty pm). Graham's family have asked that there are no flowers but if you would like to make a donation it will be shared out between Newquay AFC, Newquay Cricket Club and Newquay Lions. After the service there will be a private ceremony at Penmount, Truro for family and guests only. Refreshments will be available in the clubhouse.
Due to a sad lack of demand, the Level 1 Umpire Training Course due to start at the Cricket Centre in Truro on 19th January has been cancelled. Information on future courses can be obtained from the Lead Tutor, John Middleton, on christine.middleton@homecall.co.uk "
Following recent presentations and trials from the four major ball manufacturers the executive of the League have decided to award the cricket ball contract to Tiflex (Oxbridge) for the next three years. Order forms will be circulated to clubs shortly.
Since the Divisions were published in late November the following has happened during December. The issues have been resolved over the Christmas with grateful thanks to the clubs below for their prompt responses.
Botallack 2 have withdrawn from Div 7 West
Penzance 3 have withdrawn their application to rejoin Div 7 West.
Bude have withdrawn their first XI from Div 2 East to take the place of their seconds in Div 4 East, thus withdrawing their third XI from the league.
In order to fill the vacancy in Division 2 East, following consultations with all the clubs involved, the following will now take effect for 2010.
Newquay 2 - are additionally promoted to Div 2 E (Lanhydrock having already stated they did not wished to be reprieved relegation in order to rebuild in Div 3)
Launceston 2 - having not won a game in 2009 wish to be relegated to rebuild in Div 4 E
St Austell 3 are therefore promoted to Div 3 E as third placed finisher.
Fowey 2 are reprieved relegation from Div 4 E
Callington 3 are promoted to Div 5 E as third placed finisher (Menheniot Looe 4 ineligible to be reprieved under Rule 10.4)
Bude 2 (formerly 3) reprieved relegation in Div 6.
The fixturing process is now able to commence as it can only be done as a whole once all divisions (east and west) are finalised. Needless to say if any other club envisages withdrawing a team before February please inform immediately.
