Isle of Man cricket is benefiting from the HSBC Manx Youth Games.
That's the view of the sport's development officer Gareth Dawson.
Coaching sessions in eleven different sports are under way in all regions of the Island, for children in the eight to 15 age group.
The scheme culminates with a day of sporting competition on Saturday, May 19.
Gareth Dawson says cricket has seen a growth in interest since the Youth Games started in 2002:

Six trophies on offer across two days of matches later this month
Shooting: Cross beats Faragher in shoot-off
