Another amazing cricketing opportunity for Mo (U5) who attended an elite spin camp held at @lborosport on Monday & Tuesday.
Mo was able to meet and work with some current international cricketers and a few former ‘greats’ of the game. This follows a fabulous summer of cricket for Mo who represented @somersetcricketofficial 2nd XI and represented the ECB south west at the Bunbury festival.
