The presentation was originally scheduled for Saturday at 10.30 at Southampton Oval prior to the start of the Western Counties first round but most of the players will be involved in trial matches that day, so the presentation will have to be rescheduled.

Also there is a second group of awards to be confirmed shortly and the BCBC will confirm the rescheduled dates and the names of all the successful candidates.

The board is hopeful that each affiliated club (and all local schools) will eventually be able to identify one active and involved member as being a qualified cricket coach. Results of this second course will be known shortly.

Doug Ferguson leaves on Saturday night for a coaching commitment in England.

His work here has not only been highly regarded by administrators but has been exceptionally well-received by players of all abilities whether at youth, club or national level.

The Devonshire Rec. tour group will hold a meeting today at 5.30 p.m.
