Over the last six months, I’ve been using Focus Cricket balls supplied by Appleyard Cricket for my private coaching sessions. It’s no secret that purchasing Cricket balls is a huge expense for coaches and clubs alike, however the Focus Cricket balls have provided me with a cost effective, durable and quality option to cater for a variety of players and their needs.

There are many emerging brands on the market that claim to produce quality Cricket balls when in actual fact they are a long way off it, but this is not the case with Focus Cricket, who balls certainly stack up to the established brands.

Furthermore, Callum is always quick to respond and has personally delivered balls to me, and the range of balls will ensure that you can cater for players of all ages and abilities.

Contact Appleyard Cricket to make sure you get your hands on Focus Cricket balls!
