TWO coaches from Barnt Green Cricket Club have scooped a top award for their work with youngsters.
Edward Payne and Mark Millard, both junior coaches at Cherry Hill Road, received the Halesowen Trophy at the Midland Cricket Club Conference dinner.
Mark, a maths teacher, and Edward, a computer programmer, were given the award in recognition of their outstanding service to the club's junior section.
In six years they have swelled the numbers for Sunday morning training sessions from ten to 63, including 15 girls between four and nine-years-old.
