County Youth Programme visits South Africa

The 2011 tour was the tenth visit to South Africa in as many years. It has become a well established part of the county youth programme and each one has provided young players with a memorable experience. To play overseas in unfamiliar conditions, against competitive and talented opposition gives the players another layer of experience.

Devon Indoor League

Devon has a number of indoor leagues around the county: Ashmoor, Derriford, Sidmouth and Exeter (previously Tiverton). Winners of these leagues go through to regional playoffs and finals which are held in Taunton and then the national finals which are held at Lords Cricket Ground.
