Fed: $900,000 for junior cricket

The Australian Sports Commission is putting $900,000 into the development of junior cricket.

It says the aim is to get 75,000 children onto the cricket pitch over the next three years.

The money will be used to strengthen the Have-A-Go program for young boys and assist
in developing a new junior program for girls aged between 10 and 13 called Cric Hit.
