The Derbyshire Junior Network launched on the 18th and 19th February to empower young people within cricket.
The network aims to provide young people with a platform for their voices to be heard and create volunteers of the future. This idea has come directly from the Derbyshire Cricket Youth Council (made up of young people from cricket clubs in Derbyshire) and is FREE to access!
