This week, the picturesque grounds of Barnard Castle School hosted the latest leg of the BA Cricket Festival, with the spotlight firmly on the Under-14s.
Renowned for bringing together rising cricketing talent from across the UK and beyond, the festival once again provided a superb platform for young players to showcase their skills in a stunning setting.
Adding to the buzz was the presence of B3 Cricket, whose ever-popular Pop-Up Shop drew players, coaches, and supporters alike. Stocked with everything from handcrafted bats to specialist equipment, it quickly became a hub of excitement for cricketers eager to try out professional-grade gear.
As part of their commitment to supporting grassroots cricket, B3 Cricket also presented custom-made bats to top performers from the Under-14 matches. A prize designed not only to celebrate their achievements but also to inspire them to keep developing their game with pride and passion.
The festival’s idyllic backdrop at Barnard Castle made the occasion even more memorable, with parents and supporters soaking in the scenery while cheering on the future stars of the game.
Each year, the BA Cricket Festivals continue to grow in stature, remaining a standout highlight of the youth cricket calendar, and B3 look forward to supporting them for many more years to come.”
