Henley is not a club to focus solely upon their senior set up however and this is reflected by the fact that they also have a thriving youth section. This part of the club looks to provide young players from the local community with an opportunity to play the game in a safe and enjoyable environment whilst helping them to reach their full potential. It is important for any club looking to be successful over a sustained period of time to be able to produce their own talent and this is an area that they appear to have covered. Coaching staff involved with this part of the club are confident that they’ve a number of players currently involved with the potential for a bright future in the game. It will certainly be exciting to see how they progress in the coming years. In order to help make sure that they enjoy a smooth transition into the senior game they also run a number of additional sides. This allows them to gain experience of adult level cricket even if they are not yet considered ready for first team action which can be an important step in the development process. Another benefit of having extra sides is that it allows the first XI to benefit from far greater strength in depth. If they are ever left short on numbers through injury or work commitments they have the option of calling up replacements with a limited amount of disruption. There is much to admire about the fine set up that Henley CC currently has in place and this is reflected in the results they are achieving. If they continue in the same manner they should be able to look forwards to a bright and successful future for many years to come.
