David Payne visits local school
15 January 2019
Before Christmas pupils at Tockington Manor School were joined by Gloucestershire bowler David Payne for one of their winter cricket training sessions. These weekly sessions are run throughout the winter by Gloucestershire coach, Owen Dawkins in preparation for a busy summer term of cricket fixtures.
Headmaster Mr Symonds said “Cricket is a popular activity at the school and the pupils were overjoyed to have David join one of their training sessions last term. The 3 age groups each had an opportunity to meet with David, ask him some questions and some even faced his bowling. We are really proud of our close association with Gloucestershire CCC and are grateful to David for sparing some time to visit the school.”
David Payne said “It was a privilege to visit the school and it is always great to see youngsters enjoying cricket. I was really impressed with their enthusiasm and some of the more tasking questions they asked.”
