In the run-up to Christmas, whilst most people were out buying presents, Essex were running their youth District trials and EAG CC were well represented at all levels.

We've been lucky enough to have a District representative selected at U15 level for the past three years and those players are now core to our adult teams. A real testament to our youth coaching.

The District squads have not been announced yet for this year - but Essex have selected their U11 Girls squad and Sophie Spicer, a key part of EAG CC kwik cricket team last year, has been called up to the Essex squad for 2018 - an incredible achievement!

Well done Sophie and good work EAG coaches!
