Cricketing Moment(s):
Every match
was enjoyable but scoring any 100
was good especially 150 against
Babbacombe and I was captain as
well.
100s on Ibiza and Majorca and
opening batting with Jack in Ibiza
when he was 12yrs was special
especially as we put on over 80 for
1st wicket.
My most enjoyable days were in the
early 80s playing for a very
successful 1st team and annoying
Mike Sparrey and Bob Heaman every
match.
Sunday cricket with Reg Rawle was
special with a picnic on the way and
a stop in a pub on the way home.
These days I really enjoy doing the
ground under the guidance of Andy
Davies and very proud of our
achievements in the league awards
for ground condition
Worst
Cricketing Moment(s)/Funny Stories
Having my nose
rearranged when keeping wicket at
Westleigh in 1979 and had a 2 week
stay in hospital.
Having a naked Mike Sparrey sitting
on my face after we won the North
Devon Knockout Cup
Anything Else
With the
standard of ground and facilities at
the HO! It's about time we had some
glory days. We ve have always had
the players with ability but we
never have the committment required
for us to become a top side and
consequently we loose many of our
best youngsters to better clubs.
