This week we chat with George Taylor of Colehill Cricket Club in Dorset, as he shares the dramatic story of the club. He relays how complaints from neighbours left the club staring at the prospect of closure, before a subsequent social media and crowdfunding campaign not only saved Colehill CC, but has seen it go on to scale new heights subsequently. A true ‘phoenix from the flames’ story. Enjoy the show!

Notes on podcast series:

The Community Cricket Podcast is brought to you by Twenty 20 Community Cricket Ltd, a not-for-profit organisation aiming to support and promote cricket in state schools, to develop young cricketers of all ages & backgrounds and to develop associate cricket nations at all levels. The podcast is presented by Tim Ferrone and Darren Talbot. Darren brings an enormous wealth of cricket coaching and development experience, and Tim reckons he spends more time coaching than he does his ‘proper’ job. Both love the sport of cricket and are tremendously passionate advocates of its capacity to benefit all who partake in it.

The Community Cricket Podcast is produced by Wrapped Up Music.
