And likewise here's the Telegraph article about how winning junior WImbly (and doing well in juniors in general) can be a curse:

Interesting that previous Wimbly junior winner, Lertcheewakarn, is now training to be a police officer.

I think paulisi said, quite rightly, on one of the threads that although there is very little transparency in funding, if you want to know who's part of the 'in' crowd, look at who gets selected to go on the training camps.

Nothing wrong at all as such in that given we so often criticise the LTA for concentrating on too few too soon.

No idea how many of these are already the 'in' crowd they have narrowed down to or how many may be fliers that you know, let's have more of a look at, they might have something.
