40 Years Ago
  We first organised 'colts' matches in the 1960s, but formally established our youth section in 1975. Since then, our youth activities have increased ten-fold and today we organise and manage competitive and friendly matches for the Under 11, Under 13 and Under 15 age groups.  A number of our juniors have progressed to represent district and Essex County XIs, and all of the captains of our 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th XI Saturday teams came through our youth academy.  They have also enjoyed being members of our renowned Colts tours to Sussex, as well as the various other senior tours to locations throughout the UK and overseas.  Many have also represented the Essex Boys and Girls Clubs at various prestigious venues throughout the UK including Eton College and Harrow School.
