SCHOOLS and colleges across the South West could benefit from additional cricket coaching thanks to Mezze Restaurants.
The restaurant chain, which recently opened Mezze at the White Lion in Portishead and Mezze at the Anchor in Ham Green, is offering schools and colleges the chance to benefit from £12,000 of professional cricket coaching to aid student development.
Mezze director Alex Tryfonos, a cricket fan who is keen to develop aspiring players, said: “Mezze is keen to support community projects and already offers an apprentice scheme in conjunction with St Katherine’s School in Pill.
“We would like to further extend our links with schools and colleges to support youth development by offering 12 educational establishments £1,000 each worth of coaching.
“This will be led by English Cricketer Rob Cunliffe, who is an enormously talented right-handed batsman and sharp fielder.”
Coaching will be granted on a first served basis in return for the schools using the Mezze logo on its sports tops or kit bags.
Schools interested in the coaching link up can call Alex on 08081 782045 or email paramountrelations@yahoo.co.uk
