The three league organisers will be meeting later this month to review the season and a Youth Metting will be organised for September where you will be able to air your views.
Partridge Homes to sponsor Stroud Youth Cricket
The Stroud District Youth Leagues have received a massive boost with the news that Partridge Homes (Cotswolds) Limited is to be its sponsor for this season.. Partridge Homes managing director Chris Partridge (pictured right) is a well known figure in local cricket circles having been a Frocester stalwart for many years and also a regular in the Gloucestershire Over 50’s team."I’m really pleased at being involved again with youth cricket", he explains. "A few years ago I set up the SDCA under 11’s league and then ran it for 8 years. That and having been involved in youth coaching have given me a good appreciation of how much enjoyment youth cricket gives. Chris’s construction company is a family business and has a history going back over 90 years in the county. Today Partridge Homes (Cotswolds) Limited specialises in building executive homes in Cheltenham, Cirencester, Bath, Painswick and Cotswold villages. Dave Howell adds; "Sponsorship enables us to ensure youngsters get their medals and trophies at the season end and we are able to keep the costs of running the league for clubs at a minimum. Chris has always been an enthusiastic cricketer with a strong interest in the youth leagues and we are delighted he will be working with us in the coming summer".
