Most embarrassing cricketing moment; Losing toss as captain and thought we had been asked to bowl first when infact they had elected to field themselves. Slightly embarrassing when 22 players took to the pitch to field 5 minutes later.

Favourite tipple; Just about any real ale Most embarrassing cricketing moment; Eating too many cream cakes, throwing up after the delivery stride and failing to see the batsman being caught at third man after the ball had ricochet'd off slips head! Best Cricket Moment; Hitting Graham Dilley for 6 at what was then known as Chartham Lunatic Asylum,. That was just 36 years ago, I was 17 and he was 2 years younger, I'm surprised his career ever recovered!!
Proudest Moment:  Watching the new square play like a proper cricket wicket !

Im 19, played cricket for school, wanted to get back into playing the sport. Huge fan of it. Can bat and bowl but havent played in a few so not 100% sure to what standard. 

I played for Strafield Turgis a couple if years ago. I am now back from university and looking to start playing cricket again. over the week-ends in June i may not be regularly avalible however i should be avalible for the majority of the sumer.
