The CWB Cameroon trip of March 2014 has been incredibly lucky to have worked with some exceptional local coaches, all of whom have become firm favourites of the travelling party. As well as being great coaches they have provided fantastic support as translators, as chaperones to local markets and as dancing advisors in and around the local nightlife!
Solefack Wamba James Callaghan

James is the only Cameroonian on earth who owns a watch AND knows what it is for AND how to use it. Superb with the kids on a CWB level, James is very proud to be Captain of his national team and is very much looking forward to leading his team in the North West Africa Cricket Cup in Nigeria in November 2014.
Ngueudam Michel Raoul

At 6' 3" Michel is a gentle giant, softly spoken, but with great passion for cricket when in front of a bunch of kids. Never fails to explain the links between HIV awareness and it's relationship to cricket.
Nafack Tiokeng Carine

Carine has 20 brothers and sisters and this domestic training stands her in great stead for keeping the kids in check on the cricket field! Always the centre of French conversation and much laughter on the bus, we suspect she is laughs at the men more than she laughs with them….
