BYCT was pleased to sponsor the 2009 and 2010 inter-club Finals at Stowe School. Six age group finals are played on the same day from U10 up to U15, thus creating a competitive but hugely enjoyable atmosphere for the players. The Finals Day is the culmination of six inter-club league competitions which attract entries from over 180 teams throughout the County.
The Finals Day has quickly become a major event on the Bucks youth cricket calendar.
In 2011, BYCT became a major sponsor of the Bucks Cricket Board's District Cricket programme. This provides high quality winter coaching and competitive inter-District matches for young cricketers in the U12 and U14 age groups.
The programme culminates in a two week festival at Berkhampstead School, thus giving over 120 young cricketers the opportunity to play longer matches in a competitive environment with a chance of progression to the County age group squad.

Grants are available to cricket clubs and other properly constituted groups located in Bucks.
In 2010, the Trust provided support to The Alan Rance Memorial Foundation, a Chesham-based group which provides cricket opportunities to young people of all abilities, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds
Grants are also available to individual young cricketers in Bucks to enable them to take up development opportunities which they otherwise would not be able to accept.
The Trustees are keen to support cricket played by young people with disabilities.
In 2011, the Trust supplied sets of cricket equipment to two Bucks Special Schools, Alfriston School and Penn School, to enable their pupils to continue their experience and enjoyment of cricket. The children participated in curriculum time coaching sessions and the Special Schools Cricket Festival held at HWCC. The Trustees have also provided financial support for a coaching project for deaf cricketers at Wolverton CC.
