It is now nearly five years since Target Chartered Accountants was launched in its current form. That’s also how long we’ve been sponsoring the Bath & District Youth Cricket League. Our involvement has been consistently rewarding and we see our contribution to the league as a key part of our place in the local community. Many of our clients are businesses or individuals in the Bath area – our local roots are important to us.

The league continues to thrive, with twenty four clubs and over eighty teams. The two girls’ teams look likely to increase in number in the near future, with other clubs showing interest.

With around 500 games played during the season, the league remains an excellent part of a County hopeful’s portfolio. There are many examples of players going on to acquire County caps. At the other end of the spectrum, ‘Kwik’ cricket tournaments are rapidly growing in popularity, helping to encourage ever younger entrants to the sport.

We can’t wait to see what unfolds in the summer 2007 season and as always we wish the best for all the young players. Good luck to everyone taking part.
