Profile:
I joined Banbury Cricket Club in 1993 playing for the youth team before playing for the Sunday seconds at the tender age of 15. At the time, the Sunday Seconds was run by the likes of Julian Briggs, Wil Brooks, David Rose and Simon Purnell, and it is these guys I hold responsible for introducing me to the sunday session. The Sunday Session always resulted in plenty of drinking games at the Grange Road pavillion until the early hours which resulted in me going to school on the monday still pissed! Thanks guys... my education suffered!!! Since then I have been captain of the Third XI on several occasions and take an active role in the running of the club as part of the general committee.

Profile:
Well, some of you might not know me. I tried to be aggresive when batting (hitting the biggest 6 into the pavilion Jimmy will ever see off Banbury 20 bowler). I don't rate myself as a bowler, although I won the Best Bowler for the indoor competition -Meggers behind the stumps made it easy though.Will come back any day if I have the opportunity.

Profile:
Dubbed 'Hockey Ace' by Banbury Guardian giving clear indication of my cricketing talent. Hoping to be described as 'Cricket Ace' in the winter but not holding out much hope. Played my early cricket in North Wales and Captained North Wales at under 16 and under 18 level. I famously scored 104 versus Warwickshire in the benefit game one year and have been living off it ever since!! been known to enjoy the odd beverage after cricket and chair the odd drinking circle from time to time.
