We take our responsibilities seriously in terms of maximising the impact of the public money we receive. We fully appreciate the fact this funding is a privilege and not a right, and with that in mind it makes sense to tie-in continued funding to the achievement of agreed goals and objectives to help ensure the best return on investment across all sports. </span></p> <p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:white'>David Collier, Chief Executive of the ECB, said:  The ECB welcomes the new Sport England strategy and the reach down to 14 year olds.
