Cricketing Moment(s):
Playing cricket with my late great
friend Steve Elworthy, there has not
been a more committed cricketer or
friend on this earth and i very much
doubt there ever will be.
Winning North Devon KO Cup. Good
night at the club with a few jars.
Seeing all the youngsters moving
into senior cricket from our
fantastic colts set up.
Hitting Jonathon Agnew for six in
the same season he opened bowling
for England, silly thing to do as he
was only bowling of a few paces.
Being involved in our club tours to
Majorca and Ibiza, seeing everyone
have a good time and play some
unusual cricket.
Proudest moment in recent years came
when i skippered our 2\'s away at
top of the table Bradninch with what
could be described as an unbalanced
side, nine bowlers and two
recognised batsmen. I asked in the
dressing room before the game if
anyone wanted to keep wicket, like a
flash John Weeks volunteered and
what a great job he did. Bradninch
scored 250ish so things weren't
looking to good at tea. i looked at
Fergie and said would you like to
open, "i\'ll give it a go" came the
reply, 42 overs later Fergie 111no
game over no problem. The character
of which those 11 showed on that day
provided me with one of the most
enjoyable experiences of my
cricketing career.
Worst
Cricketing Moment(s)/Funny Stories
Dropping a catch and i am quite good
at it now. Being run out without
facing away at United Services after
starting work at 4.30am and getting
to the ground at 1.55pm and finally
getting home at 11.00pm, what a day
and i wasn't out, oh well we all get
them
Anything Else
Best
cricketer i ever played in the same
team with, Tony Allin Bideford and
Glamorgan. Cricketing Hero Vivian
Richards,
A message to all the youngsters
always enjoy what your doing,
cricket is a team sport and if one
of your team-mates plays well he's
also playing well for you, remember
when you do well he will be pleased
for you too!
I would like to wish everyone
involved with Bideford CC all the
best for the future and hope that
they have as much fun and enjoyment
from the club as i have over the
past thirty something years. Good
luck to each and everyone of you.
