President Harvey Jolly and A Grade Captain Simon Roberts gratefully accepted the Community Grant from Mayor Rosenberg at the official presentation evening.
The grant assisted the club to run the Gary Putland Youth Cricket Academy which provided for 24 talented young boys and 6 young girls to further develop their cricket.
The the grant allowed the provision of training shirts, gym hire and indoor net hire and purchase of equipment. The Stingrays provided level 3 and level 2 coaches who all provided over 20 hours of coaching and talent evaluation.
The club is immensely proud of the achievements of Gary Putland who is currently in South Africa representing the Redbacks in the Champions League Trophy. Gary personally spoke to the squad at the start of the program and he has said he is humbled to have his name associated with this Youth Cricket Academy.
The ten week program was completed on Sunday September 12. The club hopes to continue the program next season with trials commencing March 2011.
