The Young Leaders in Cricket programme for 14 to 16-year-olds offers an introduction to umpiring and scoring, a course in groundsmanship and training in basic First Aid.
It also offers a chance to do 20 hours of volunteering in a school, club or community to help develop cricketing opportunities in the local area.
The Mayor of Tonbridge & Malling, Pam Bates, said: “I thoroughly enjoyed my day at Lord’s Cricket Ground. It was a pleasure to meet all the young cricketers who have received an award this year, congratulations to them all.
“I’m sure they will go on to inspire other young people to take up cricket, not only in the sport itself but in coaching and the organisational side of things – there are many opportunities available.”
