Participation Manager, Simon Hards, said 'We are extremely grateful to the ECB for once again providing Surrey with funding to support a wide range of clubs across the county. We look forward to receiving lots of applications in January and February and we hope that the funding that we end up allocating will continue to support clubs to increase participation further in Surrey.'
