Derbyshire County Cricket Club today shared the LV= County Championship Division Two trophy with 16 youngsters as the County Ground hosted the inaugural Common Goal Sports Leaders Conference.

The Comic Relief funded community project welcomed students (aged 13-17) from a combination of Derby Moor and Chesterfield Springmoor Community Colleges, all of whom have a possible future in sports leadership.

As well as fulfilling its objective of using sport to unify youngsters, Derbyshire swimmer Ross Davenport was on hand, along with Derbyshire Chief Executive Simon Storey, to welcome the youngsters and project leader Yvonne Luce to the Cricket Club.
