YEAR 10 students Sidmouth College Harvey Sargent and Finlay Marks are on a high after being selected to take part in the Devon Youth Cricket Development Tour to South Africa in February 2014.
The boys will join a development squad visiting the Western Province and Mpumalanga and will be in South Africa for just over three weeks in total. They have already represented Devon and are regarded as two of the best players in their age group in the county.
A college spokesperson said:?“This exciting opportunity to play overseas against quality opposition will play an important part in helping the boys to maximise their potential. Nevertheless, each of the boys has to raise approximately £3,000 in order to take part, and are looking for sponsorship. If anyone within the community can offer their support, please contact the PE department at the college.”
PE teacher Mr Clifton said: “We’re all really delighted for Harvey and Fin. The boys have proven they have the talent and ability to play top level cricket and have trained hard. This is a fantastic opportunity for both of them to take their game one step further.”
