Why we should receive the grant:
Mitchell (12) plays in his school team and Represents South Canterbury age group. He saved his own money last season to buy his own cricket bat. Unfortunately it has not lasted through this season. It has a large chunk out of the bottom, the handle is rather flexible. His cricket bag is also much loved but past its used by date. He loves his bat, (and cricket) scoring 102*, a couple of fifties and turning many a match around when coming into bat and bowl so far this season. His other cricket gear (pads, helmet and thigh guard) are also borrowed from school. Getting his own gear would make him feel great and feel like many of the other boys in his team :)
