Purpose & Aim | The Under 13/14's is the first step into representing the county.
Through trials at Hever, the best talent is chosen to attend winter training sessions with the intent of finding the strongest team. Handicaps tend to be under 14 at the start of the season with most of the team single figures by the end of the season. The boys get their first taste of county competition which hopefully gives them the drive for the future. |
