The staff are really friendly and also really know their stuff. If you're looking to get expert cricket coaching for yourself or your children then I'd highly recommend this as a good place to come.

I wasn't aware of the eBay store and was overcharged, I realised when I got home. I was able to get a refund for the difference the next day but not without quite a lengthy conversation first, so tread carefully. Worth it for the heavily discounted prices though.
