Name Club Nominator Reason
Alicia Titre
Essex
Catherine
Chappell
Alicia has been supporting the new Gidea Park and Romford Cricket Club ladies cricketers since the start of the summer . Alicia has expertly delivered coaching to a very varied group of ladies from novice to experienced and old to young . She has helped ladies overcome fears about inexperience , lack of fitness and self consciousness by carefully pitching coaching sessions in a fun and accessible manner . Her delivery is clearly fuelled by a high level of knowledge and experience which she shares setting high but achievable standards . The ladies team has now gained enough confidence to enter their first competition representing the club ' s first ever female team . Alicia has also been doing most of this delivery free of charge ! We couldn ' t have done it without her .
Kathryn Whyle and Charlotte Whyle

Royston Salter
Both of the twins have been brilliant coaching the children at
our cricket club with the All Stars programme .
Chris Fox
Sussex
Matt Parsons
Chris is a stalwart of the coach education programme in Sussex and has been developing and tutoring courses for two decades or more . Not only does he engage with the specific demographic he ' s working with , he ' s always open minded and up to speed with new ideas , techniques and coaching methods and delivers engaging courses with a fresh and tailored approach . He ' s always considerate to individual abilities and experiences but is always wanting challenging opinions and different points of view . He ' s heavily involved in the County CA as well and is passionate about broadening the net for female coaches , those from disadvantaged backgrounds , black and minority group coaches and those of any age . Recently we successfully delivered two female only courses in Sussex , both of which Chris led and both of which received glowing reviews and feedback . Not content with just delivering the courses , Chris has led a discussion on further supporting the female candidates post-course with ongoing support and shadowing , to further aid their development and experience , something we ' ve linked in with the county ' s development team . There is no worthy recipient of recognition than Chris , a man who ' s modest , quiet , softly spoken , yet passionate about all things coach education and growing the game to participants who otherwise may not get the chance .
Promila Raina
Cavaliers Cricket Academy
Romit Zutshi
Promila has shown exemplary leadership and creativity in organising the All Stars Cricket programme for the club during the last three years . She is excellent in prior planning of the sessions and creates a detailed plan for the day , taking into account the availability of fellow coaches and the requirements of the session . Her energy and involvement in delivering exciting sessions for young kids has helped Cavaliers Club attract big participation every year . Promila is a role model for female coaches and young girls and rightly deserves the nomination .
Amanda Garrard
Holmbridge CC
Jim Woodhead
Amanda is amazing . Not just for the help she ’ s given me as a coach and my own development but for the work she does at club level . She ’ s an inspiration to the people with who she works and the other coaches around her . Her love of the game , the challenges of coaching and the people around her is both motivating and infectious . And I don ’ t think that she really knows just how highly she ’ s regarded . It ’ s been a pleasure , honour and inspiration to work with Amanda and I hope to enjoy more of it in the years to come .
