County Badge

This photo is of me receiving my county badge and I feel it is important to recognise all those who helped me get to the end of this gargantuan quest!

I played at Deanland for 3 seasons - a small club but fabulous. My coach and mentor Arthur Thurgood suggested I leave and join another club and he introduced me to Hampden Park, telling me I needed to play with better and more experienced bowlers. As usual he was right!

I asked some interesting characters at Hamden Park if they would join me in county competitions and found a few brave souls. We entered the fours, the triples and we did pretty well getting to area quarter finals.

I have now been at Hampden Park for 5 years and it's just got bigger - which can only be good for the game.

I would like to give special thanks to Derek Wells, Mike Crowhurst, 'The' Fred Titchener, Liam O'Leary, Ian Catling and this season Barry King. The rest all know who you are - so I hereby share my county badge with you all.
