BECC chairman Neil Myeroff said: “The event was a magnificent success and will now take place annually. BECC are going to promote junior cricket to the full and are building for the future to add to the three senior teams that play each Sunday. Colts teams would compete against others in their age group from other major cricket clubs in the London area.”
