Phil Attwell, Director of Sport at the University of Exeter
"Throughout my life, I have had a passion for sport. I firmly believe sport helps to develop an individual’s confidence, an understanding of the importance and enjoyment of being part of a team and a love of competition. I am delighted to support such an important development in Devon and at the University as cricket is of great interest to me and, as an honorary graduate of Exeter, I am pleased to have the opportunity to be involved.’ Sir Christopher Ondaatje
“The centre is used extensively to develop cricketing opportunities across the county for youngsters, adults, clubs and Devon’s representative teams. This assures Devon’s reputation as the leading minor county, and act as a pathway for developing professional players of the future”. Jim Wood, Chair of Devon Cricket Board
