Student Cricketers Given First-Class Support from MCC

A career in professional sport is the dream for many young men and women.  What better job is there than one which enables you to make money out of something that you both excel at and love doing?  The route to the top in sport is notoriously steep, however; by its very nature, the competition is fierce and those who don’t make it far outnumber those that do.  Choosing between ‘chasing the dream’ and continuing with academic studies is a tough decision for any talented young sportsperson.

Derby’s GREAT!

Oh…Where to begin?

I suppose the first thing to mention is that Derby is squeezed, slap bang in the centre of the country, sandwiched between Nottingham, Sheffield and Birmingham.  Good if you fancy road-tripping with your mates, bad if you’re studying here and your folks turn up every other weekend!
