Founder
member and the Club's long standing Skipper who made his 200th
appearance as both player and Captain in 2004. Defiant and
sometimes hard-hitting batsman whose lack of foot movement
is renowned. A shrewd Skipper who prides himself on good tactics
shrewd fielding and bowling changes and who manages his team
to success on many occasions. Hates losing any game and likes
to sets high standards from his players. He is a competent
if not outstanding fielder. He also able to quote from memory
the club's records and statistics whilst also writing and
compiling the Club's annual season report, which has become
legendary. He is forever threatening to give up the Captaincy
but always seems to be ready to do "just one more season".
