Mike Gatting, ECB Managing Director of Cricket Partnerships, said 'It is testament to the heritage and quality of the ECB U13 National Club Championship that it has produced so many world class performers over the years.' Anya Shrubsole, was one of the first girls to ever appear in the Finals Festival when she played for Bath CC in 2005.

'In 2008 she made her England debut in a Women’s ODI against South Africa and is just the latest example.' Giles Clarke, ECB chairman, said: 'England stars such as Andrew Flintoff, Monty Panesar, and James Anderson have all taken part in the ECB U13 National Club Championship as have former England players such as Nasser Hussain, Steve Harmison and Marcus Trescothick.'

'I think that shows the importance of the competition on the path from the playground to the Test arena and why it has established itself in the last 30 years as an essential part of the cricketing calendar.' The Championship is played on a county basis with each of the 40 county winners progressing to a National Knock-out Competition.

The winners get to lift the prestigious Ken Barrington trophy. For more details on U13 National Club Championships visit the ECB website. - (TOP)

Mike Gatting, ECB Managing Director of Cricket Partnerships, said 'It is testament to the heritage and quality of the NatWest U15 National Club Championship that it has produced so many world class performers over the years. The story of Andrew Flintoff’s heroics in the 1993 competition – when he scored 234 not out in 20 overs including 22 sixes – is just one fine example.' 2010 is another record year as around 1,800 clubs enter the competition and 27,000 junior cricketers share the dream of being in the team crowned NatWest U15 National Cricket Champions come Finals Day at Kibworth in August.
